Code.org founder Hadi Partovi, finance expert Tim Ranzetta and Professor of Applied Mathematics Dr. Steven Strogatz create a vision to prepare students for lifelong success with courses in computer science, data science and financial literacy. These critical skills are fast becoming an essential part of a 21st-century education, which every student will need to learn and employ during their school years and beyond.
“If kids are excited to learn something, they will go learn it. Don’t worry about the order we teach things, we need to worry about inspiring students to go learn!” -Hadi Partovi
“Our current curriculum is rooted in a different era…our current math curriculum is rooted in the 1950s Space Race. We have to make room for data science for 21st century skills.” Dr. Steven Strogatz
“Providing flexibility in terms of policy or legislation…state sets standards on what’s being taught. Also, provide flexibility in who teaches the course and fitting financial literacy into current graduation requirements…not adding to them.” -Tim Ranzetta
