Typically, students can take computer science courses as electives, but they don't count as a core course requirement for graduation, said Cameron Wilson, chief operating officer and vice president of governmental affairs for Code.org. In June 2013, the organization partnered initially with Microsoft to advocate for state-level policy changes to make sure computer science can SATISFY a graduation requirement.

"That doesn't mean SCHOOLS would have to teach it. It doesn't mean students would have to take it," Wilson said during the panel discussion. "What it means is students would have some motivation to take it as a core course instead of an elective."
