Little is of greater importance to the economic future of our country than making sure that kids are prepared to enter the workforce of the future and create the jobs of the future, many of which will either be in computer science or require skills in computer science. Regardless of the field, whether it's construction, whether it's education, whether it's banking, having basic skills in computational technology as a computer science is absolutely critical for occupational success. To bring some of the jobs back to America, we need to make sure that we have the best and brightest and most capable children that are equipped with the tools they need to prepare the next generation of intellectual property and software products for consumption across the world. I have been honored to introduce this resolution recognizing National Computer Science Education Week with Representative Ehlers, for the second year, to acknowledge the important contributions of computer science to our country's economic development and also to emphasize the need for increased diversity and ensuring that we tap into the great diversity that composes the American people in preparing for the jobs of the future.
