This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant is for the purpose of ensuring all U.S. students from preK through 12th grade have access to computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education. The NSF seeks proposals for research and research-practice partnerships to develop and implement CS and CT initiatives nationwide. Key objectives include equipping high school teachers with the necessary preparation and professional development to deliver rigorous CS courses, providing preK-8 teachers with instructional materials and training to integrate CS/CT into their curriculum, and supporting schools and districts in establishing and evaluating comprehensive, multi-grade CS and CT pathways for students.
