Computing in the Core
Working to add Computer Science to the core academic requirements in America's schools.

From the 720 Strategies press release:

When Computing in the Core -- a national non-partisan advocacy coalition of associations, corporations, scientific societies and other non-profits working to elevate computer science education to a core academic subject in K-12 education -- decided to launch itself, they turned to 720 Strategies. We designed a clean, organized and interactive website that is pleasing to look at, easy to use and armed with the latest social media tools in order to meet the campaign's goals.

CinC encourages awareness building, policy changes and research at national, state, and local levels, building a strong foundation for the future of computer science instruction. The campaign also strives to engage federal and state policymakers, educators, the public and the media to meet these goals.
720 Strategies' Art Director, Mike Aleo, aimed to provide creative and functional elements to support CinC's mission, with the site utilizing many progressive enhancements, especially for visitors using modern browsers, such as Chrome and Safari. While the site maintains the same clean look and feel in older browsers, browsers like Safari and Chrome achieve higher interactivity through animations and transitions. CinC also utilizes social media features that allow users to "like" and "share" content with members of their social networks.

Running On Empty, the powerful report from Computing in the Core, tells the story of an America without Computer Science education - while the rest of the world is has been teaching comp sci for years.
