Google today announced fresh support for nonprofits with an additional US $20 million commitment to expand Computer Science education access to more than 11 million students across the US — including more support for The Hidden Genius Project. This brings its total commitment to CS education to more than $240 million since 2004.
We’ll focus our efforts on supporting national and local organizations who reach underserved students in major urban centers and rural communities, and who help governments and educators implement CS education plans nationwide.

In addition to The Hidden Genius Project, Google will also support local nonprofits across the country, with a focus on Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C. & Los Angeles. It will help advance programs like the Computing Integrated Teacher Education project at the City University of New York, to incorporate CS education into the curriculum for new teachers, & support CodePath in Chicago & Atlanta, to help students from underrepresented communities work towards tech-based careers.
