Abstract	Computer science (CS) education helps students acquire skills such as computational thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Since these skills take preeminence in the rapidly changing 21st century, CS education promises to significantly enhance student preparedness for the future of work and active citizenship. Based on prior analyses and expert consultations, the authors selected 11 CS education country, state, and provincial case studies that may have lessons that broadly apply to other education systems. These cases come from diverse global regions and circumstances and have implemented CS education programs for various periods and to different levels of success. As such, they have examined information to extract lessons that can lead to successful implementation. This study will focus on how Uruguay developed its CS education program. A small country of three and a half million people wedged between Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay has traditionally been known for its herds of livestock and commodity-driven export economy. Yet, attention has been shifting to a "growing constellation" of startups and technology firms that have the potential to turn Uruguay into a regional technology powerhouse (Romero, 2013). (ERIC).
