This paper provides an overview of a worldwide project to chart the future of computing education on a global scale. The Computing Curricular 2020 (CC2020) initiative engages a task force of thirty-six professionals from sixteen countries and six continents in the task of producing resources that map the computing and educational advances that have occurred since the publication of its predecessor, CC2005. The results of the initiative will be futuristic in the sense that it will be a durable portfolio of resources useful to educational institutions, governments, industry, students, and the public on a global scale. This paper summarizes the status and approaches developed by the CC2020 taskforce, a digest of the content anticipated in the resources delivered as well as suggestions for their use.
