Google believes that all students should have the opportunity to become active creators of tomorrow's technology.
Through our diverse set of education efforts, we invest in the next generation of computer scientists and engineers,
providing opportunities for all students to engage more directly in technology. To do this, we focus our education efforts
in four strategic areas, with an emphasis on computing in core curriculum. We believe by integrating computing across
subject areas in K-12, students will experience the full power and utility of technology in areas of interest to them.
This will have the key added benefit of leveling the playing field for all students to gain a deeper understanding of
computing.

questions that you can't answer or if they're looking for activities to keep their active minds occupied, you
can point them to theSpoke, our student community site or The Imagine Cup, our premier student competition.
