They are printed separately below, because for 2023 to 2024 they do not quite agree. | School year | Share offering CS | | --- | --- | | 2018 to 2019 | No value published | | 2019 to 2020 | 37% | | 2020 to 2021 | 44% | | 2021 to 2022 | 46% | | 2022 to 2023 | 55% | | 2023 to 2024 | 53.7% | | 2024 to 2025 | No value published | | Measure | Michigan | Source and note | | --- | --- | --- | | High schools offering CS, 2023 to 2024 | 674 of 1,228, which works out to 54.9% | Code.org (2025), most recent access tab; primary source listed as State Education Agency and School Catalogs | | High school students enrolled in CS | Not published for Michigan | Code.org (2025), participation tabs show no Michigan value | | Schools with AP exams, 2023 | 737 (623 public, 114 non-public) | College Board, School Report of AP Exams by State | | Schools with AP exams, 2024 | 752 (649 public, 103 non-public) | College Board, School Report of AP Exams by State | ### Two numbers for one year The trend tab says 53.7% for 2023 to 2024; the count tab gives 674 of 1,228, which is 54.9%. We print both, each with its tab, rather than choosing one. The sheet does not explain the gap, so neither do we. ### A dip that may not be real The trend shows 55% in 2022 to 2023 and 53.7% a year later. With the count tab disagreeing, a one-year fall of about a point is within the noise, so we would not call it a decline. ### The missing half Access says whether a school lists a course. Participation says whether students take it. For Michigan the sheet has no participation figures, so nobody reading it can say how many Michigan teenagers actually study computer science. ### Source line Michigan access figures: Code.org (2025). 2025 State of AI + CS Education, published data sheet, Michigan rows only. AP school counts: College Board, School Report of AP Exams by State, 2023 to 2024. We quote values and do not republish either dataset. State policy ## What this page does not tell you about Michigan rules, and why A state page should quote its education department. For Michigan, we could not read it on 17 October 2026. The Michigan Department of Education site refused our automated requests for its computer science standards page, its academic standards index and its sitemap, each returning an access-denied response. The state legislature’s law pages did the same. Our rule is not to work around a refusal and not to repeat claims we have not read at the source, so this page states nothing about Michigan graduation requirements, standards adoption dates or required course offerings. You may read summaries elsewhere; we have simply not verified them. ### Ask the school counselor Whether a computer science course counts toward a Michigan diploma, and in which subject column, is set by state and district rules. The counselor at your student’s high school can say exactly how it is recorded there. ### Check the course catalog Code.org lists school catalogs among its Michigan sources, which is a hint worth taking: the school’s own catalog shows which computer science courses run and in which grades. ### Use AP as a fixed point AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A follow the same College Board framework in every state. Where a school offers neither, our classes cover the same course content, and the family can ask the school about exam arrangements. ### What our classes are, and are not Our classes are tuition outside school. They do not award Michigan credit and they do not replace a school course. They give a student more practice, larger projects and a teacher who can go faster or slower than a full classroom can. Signature project ## How far north do Michigan’s campgrounds go? A histogram on DNR open data The Michigan Department of Natural Resources publishes its recreation points as open data. Students download them, filter to campgrounds, and bin them by latitude. | Latitude band | Campground records | Bar | | --- | --- | --- | | 41 to 42 degrees N | 9 | # | | 42 to 43 degrees N | 86 | ######### | | 43 to 44 degrees N | 28 | ### | | 44 to 45 degrees N | 119 | ############ | | 45 to 46 degrees N | 91 | ######### | | 46 to 47 degrees N | 92 | ######### | | 47 to 48 degrees N | 8 | # | ### 1. Filter first The service held 863 records on the day we read it. Its tags include 332 non-motorized trails, 292 state park campgrounds, 141 state forest campgrounds and 115 state parks. Keeping only the two campground tags leaves 433 records. ### 2. Choose a bin width Latitudes run from 41.82 to 47.47 degrees north. One-degree bins give seven bars. Students then try half-degree bins and watch the band at 43 degrees, already thin, split into two even thinner bars. ### 3. Ask what the shape means Is the low bar at 43 degrees a real gap in campgrounds, or an accident of where the bin edges fall? Moving the edges by half a degree is the quickest test, and a good habit for any chart. Why the tag totals do not add up Add the tag counts and you get more than 863, because one record can carry two tags, a state park that also has a campground, for instance. Spotting that a sum overshoots its total is a small moment that teaches students to distrust a tidy-looking spreadsheet. ### Our bins, DNR data The bins and bar lengths above are ours, from one download on 17 October 2026. The DNR describes the dataset as a public record with no restrictions on use, reproduction or distribution, provided as is and without warranty. Among the campground records, 220 carry a rustic-sites tag and 174 an electrical-service tag; the DNR did not check any of our counts. Class times ## Michigan has two time zones, and our timetable handles both Most of Michigan keeps Eastern Time, but a strip along the Wisconsin border keeps Central. The IANA time zone database gives each its own entry. | IANA zone | IANA description | Gap to India in winter | | --- | --- | --- | | America/Detroit | Eastern, Michigan (most areas) | 10 hours 30 minutes | | America/Menominee | Central, Michigan (Wisconsin border) | 11 hours 30 minutes | ### Same switch dates Both zones follow the US rule: clocks fall back on November 1, 2026 and spring forward on March 14, 2027. In summer each gap to India shrinks by an hour. ### Tell us your zone A family near the Wisconsin line reads a 4 pm Eastern class as 3 pm. When you book, say which zone you keep and we confirm every time in that zone. ### A bug students can find Software that assumes all of Michigan is Eastern will schedule a Menominee student an hour wrong. Looking up America/Menominee instead of hard-coding an offset is a real programming lesson. Learning ladder ## From first loops to machine learning Grades are a starting guess; the first lesson decides. Grades K to 5 ### Blocks and play Block coding and small games, then simple ideas about how AI tools make guesses. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[AI Literacy for Kids (Ages 8 to 14)](/courses/ai-literacy-for-kids-course)Grades 6 to 8 ### From blocks to text Python with games and drawings, or a Minecraft route into real code for students who already love the game. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Minecraft Coding for Kids](/courses/minecraft-coding-for-kids-course)Grades 9 to 10 ### Depth and craft Python or JavaScript at full depth, with projects on public data and the browser. [Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[JavaScript for Teens](/courses/javascript-course-for-teens-beginners-interactive-web)Grades 11 to 12 ### AP and models AP Computer Science Principles, and machine learning built from the data up. [AP Computer Science Principles](/courses/ap-computer-science-principles-exam-prep-course)[AI and Machine Learning for Teens](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens)Coding and AI ## Would an AI chatbot have caught the disagreement in the Michigan data? Probably not, unless someone asked it to. That is the case for learning to code. Ask an AI tool for the share of Michigan high schools teaching computer science and it will return one confident number. It will not usually mention that the same dataset holds two different values for the same year, or that the participation column for Michigan is empty. Those details are visible only to someone who opens the file and checks. Students who have written their own filters and histograms know that every number has an owner, a definition and a date. They can use AI assistants to speed up the routine parts of a project while keeping the judgement for themselves, which is where the real learning happens. The useful skill is not producing a number; it is knowing which number to trust and saying why. The longer argument is in [is coding still worth learning in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## From Detroit to the Keweenaw, one live class Michigan stretches across two peninsulas and two time zones; online classes reach every part of it on the same terms. ### Both peninsulas A student in Grand Rapids and one in Marquette can sit in the same batch, each from home, with no drive through winter weather to reach a class. ### Michigan school calendar Teachers use US grades and plan around the school year, exams and breaks. Graded school work always remains the student’s own. ### Batches at one level Fifteen to twenty students working at the same stage, from Michigan and the rest of the country. ### Private when needed One teacher, one student, for AP preparation, a competition or a project that needs a faster pace. ### Flexible timing Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. ### Begin free A complete first lesson with a real teacher, then a suggested level and time. No payment details are requested for it. Online, from India There is no Modern Age Coders building in Michigan and we do not claim one. Teaching is live online from India; a student needs a computer with sound and a steady internet connection. Fees ## What classes cost for Michigan families Shown up front, with nothing added later. First class**USD 0** A first lesson in full, free, with a recommended course and slot at the end. Group tuition**USD 100** Monthly classes in a batch of fifteen to twenty students at the same level. Private tuition**USD 150** Monthly classes with a teacher working one to one. Families in Michigan pay the single US rate in US dollars, the same in Ann Arbor as in Sault Ste. Marie. Billing begins only after the free lesson, once course and time are settled; the pricing page explains holidays and missed sessions.

FAQ ## Michigan coding and AI questions Short answers, with the source named in each. ### What share of Michigan high schools offer computer science? The Code.org 2025 data counts 674 of 1,228 Michigan high schools, or 54.9%, for 2023 to 2024. Its trend tab gives 53.7% for the same year, so both are shown with their tab. ### Has access grown in Michigan? Yes. The Code.org trend tab moves from 37% in 2019 to 2020 to 55% in 2022 to 2023, then 53.7% in 2023 to 2024. No 2024 to 2025 Michigan value is published. ### How many Michigan students take computer science? The Code.org 2025 sheet publishes no participation figures for Michigan, so that number is not available from this source. ### Is computer science a graduation requirement in Michigan? We could not verify it. The Michigan Department of Education site returned access-denied responses to our requests on 17 October 2026, so we make no claim. Your high school counselor can confirm the current rule. ### How many Michigan schools give AP exams? The College Board counts 737 Michigan schools with AP exams in 2023 and 752 in 2024, of which 649 were public schools in 2024. ### Which time zone are Michigan classes in? Most of Michigan is Eastern (America/Detroit), and the Wisconsin border area is Central (America/Menominee). Tell us which you keep and every class time is confirmed in it. ### When are classes held for Michigan students? Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience. US clocks change on November 1, 2026 and March 14, 2027, and we adjust on our side. ### Can a Michigan student take AP Computer Science A with you? Yes. We teach the College Board course content and exam skills in Java. Exam registration is arranged by the family with a school, not through us. ### Does the DNR campground project need special software? No. It runs in standard Python on a laptop. Students download the public DNR recreation points, filter 433 campground records out of 863, and bin them by latitude. ### Do you have a center in Michigan? No. We have no premises in Michigan or anywhere in the US; all classes are live online from India.
