In a rapidly changing, technology-focused world, few academic subjects offer more potential for impact and innovation than computer science (CS). But in the United States, girls, students with disabilities, English learners, and Black and Latinx students are all underrepresented in CS education.
EDC partners with educators, STEM industry leaders, and policymakers to ensure all students can access high-quality CS education opportunities. We create leading-edge CS curricula, help states align with private sector STEM partners, and center our efforts on broadening participation in the field among historically underrepresented and marginalized communities. We advance knowledge of how to foster computational thinking and data literacy, evaluate promising programs, and scale innovative programs.
