The adoption of standards for K-12 computer science education by the Michigan Department of Education in May 2019 aims to increase the percentage of Michigan public schools teaching foundational computer science courses. The average salary for a computing occupation in Michigan is $82,386 which is significantly higher than the average salary in the state according to, a global advocacy organization that promotes computer science literacy. Careers grounded in computer science often lead to high-tech, high-wage sustainable jobs, and engaging students early increases their confidence, determination and creativity. Gretchen Whitmer has proclaimed December 7-13 “Computer Science Education Week” in Michigan, recognizing that computer science is a 21st-century skill that is listed among the top 50 job growth areas in Michigan.Ĭomputer science jobs are the number-one source of new wages in the United States, and these jobs are projected to grow at twice the rate of all other jobs.
