Research demonstrates a connection between parent perspectives and children's decisions to pursue careers in STEM (e.g. Albritton et al., 2020; Fouad et al., 2016). However, there is limited research on parents' impact on CS education advocacy. Through one-on-one parent interviews, this study found that parents engage in educational advocacy, but have limited access to CS resources and information on how to advocate for computing education. Regardless, parents recognize their children need to learn computing and want access to CS. This research illustrates the importance of leveraging parents' advocacy to ensure meaningful CS education for all.
