  The general assembly finds that:   Computer science and computer coding skills are widely recognized as valuable assets in the current and future job market;    Students in Colorado would benefit from taking computer science and coding courses in high school;    High school students who are exposed to computer science and coding courses in high school are more likely to take such courses in college;    Many high school students are not taking computer science and coding courses because they are elective courses and do not count toward graduation requirements;    According to the Code.org Advocacy Coalition, in states that count a computer science course as either a math or science credit toward graduation, the average class size is fifty-three percent bigger than in states where computer science is only an elective; and    More high school students would take computer science and coding courses if they fulfilled a graduation requirement in mathematics or science.       All school districts are encouraged to offer in every high school one or more courses in computer science and coding.
