Computer Science is the study of the capabilities and potential of computers and technology. In Michigan, we want to help students learn how CS can be applied in all walks of life through creative computing. These skills are applicable in many industries around our state, and can lead to in demand technical careers. 

Computer Science exposure in students’ academic careers has the potential to inspire the future generation of our workforce. CS education provides young people as early as elementary school with rich and rigorous content, inspiring students’ sense of curiosity, and giving them the tools and habits of critical thinking to understand the world around them. 

The launch of CSforALL and the SCRIPT program for school districts has led to the development of the CS for Michigan hub that includes integrated computer science lessons by grade. These resources have been the focus of the CS for Michigan team and will be available for teachers of all core subject areas to use in their classrooms. 

In 2019, new standards in computer science were adopted across Michigan.  As a result, students are more likely to choose to pursue Computer Science college and/or career pathways that ultimately meet Michigan’s workforce needs. 

CS for Michigan is committed to providing quality instructional supports and services leading to improved career and postsecondary education outcomes for all students.
