Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science


Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science by making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science and computer programming should be part of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, such as biology, physics, chemistry and algebra.

Today, more and more websites allow users to authenticate using Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other existing credentials. Sure, the convenience of not having to create multiple credentials is a good thing for users, and having one less database with your username and password is also  good thing.

But do you really know who you entrusted with access to information about yourself? 

As a test, go to https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens and see how many people have which level of access to your Google account!
