The Center for American Progress and Google co-hosted an event Tues- day about encouraging women and minorities to study computer science and to make it a part of core curricu- lum beginning in elementary school. President Barack Obama an- nounced Saturday an initiative to make sure all students get the chance to learn computer science, especially girls and minorities. His final budget, due out Tuesday, will include $100 million for school districts and $4 billion for states to expand K-12 com- puter science classes. “It’s called Computer Science For All. And it means just what it says – giving every student in America an early start at learning the skills they’ll need to get ahead in the new econo- my,” he said in a statement. Amy Malone, a senior at the Uni- versity of Maryland-College Park studying computer science, said tech- nology is a part of the way women are perceived. She said if women want to influence the way women are treated in the mass media, computer experts like her need to encourage other women to learn computer science. “Right now we’re in the middle of a technical revolution, really, and we’re creating things that will be the foun- dation of technology 100 years from now, and we want women to be a part of that,” she said. Malone, of Dayton, Ohio, said that, since she started classes as a computer science major, she has not been in a class with an equal gender divide. Al- though all of her classes are predomi- nately men, she thinks there are just as many majors with mostly women. Susan Molinari, vice president of public policy for Google, said the company will give $23.5 million in 2016 to support K-12 computer sci- ence education. She said that, al- though women are half of the popu- lation, they hold only 18 percent of computer-science jobs. “It’s a solvable problem, but only if we start to inspire young women to consider careers in computer sci- ence,” she said. Molinari said women held 37 per- cent of computer science jobs in 1980. Intel released data last week say- ing 43 percent of new hires were women, exceeding its goal for 2015. But women still make up just a quar- ter of its workforce. Amber Mirza, a University of Maryland junior study- ing computer science, said she was
