According to a 2013 study by Code.org, 90% of US high schools do notteach computer science. With software engineers in high demand inthe private sector, schools often cannot find instructors with acomputer science background, and struggle to compete with thecompensation packages offered in industry.TEALS helps high schools teach computer science by providing a teamof trained volunteers to partner with a classroom teacher and teachcomputer science to their students.
