About the Book

Fourth graders doing Google-branded coding lessons. Amazon schooling seventh graders on its warehouse robots. High school AP computing courses from Microsoft and Apple. Over the last thirteen years, the tech industry has helped spread computer science and artificial intelligence education in American schools at astonishing speed and scale. In Coding Kids, award-winning The New York Times reporter Natasha Singer tells this story by chronicling the success of Code.org, a nonprofit backed by Big Tech companies whose lessons have reached tens of millions of children. Singer shows how giants like Google and Microsoft used their colossal reach to sell schools on industry visions of computer science and AI education. Singer also profiles compelling educators fighting for a broader vision of computer science, one that not only studies algorithms and app-making but also asks students to grapple with the societal consequences of powerful tech corporations and their disruptive digital tools.

About the Author :
Natasha Singer has covered tech industry influence in schools for the New York Times for more than a decade. Her school tech reporting helped prompt California to enact a landmark student online data protection law. In 2019, she was part of a Times team whose tech coverage won a George Polk Award and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for National Reporting.

Review :
Coding Kids reveals how tech corporations positioned themselves as education saviors.... Natasha Singer shows how urgency to incorporate AI in education has been carefully manufactured--through glossy curricula, philanthropic branding, and policy pressure--to secure corporate power, not student opportunity.--Ruha Benjamin, author of Race After Technology Coding Kids reveals how the new norms surrounding educational technology came into being--and who benefits from the push to get every student to study computer science. (Hint: It's not the kids.) This is a must-read for parents, educators, and policymakers.--danah boyd, author of It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens Essential reading. Natasha Singer's Coding Kids is the best possible introduction for an urgent and necessary conversation about the ways technology reshapes reality.--Sherry Turkle, author of Reclaiming Conversation
