1) The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds research to support computer science (CS) education in K-12 schools across the US. 2) NSF has developed resources like curricula, instructional materials, and professional development for teachers to help bring CS education to more schools and students, including those traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. 3) NSF partners with other organizations to leverage their efforts and further the goal of providing all students access to CS education.

All students should have the opportunity to learn computer science (CS) in school. In our increasingly digital world, CS will prepare them with skills they can apply in almost every discipline and domain. NSF funds research and development that is building the necessary foundations for implementing rigorous and engaging computer science in schools across the U.S. This work leverages NSF-funded research on the teaching and learning of CS that generates evidence to support stronger K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education efforts. Much of the work on CS to date has focused at the high school level and also aims to engage all students - building on NSF-funded research on broadening participation to better understand and inform efforts to support students from underrepresented groups. CS for All NSF's efforts and the growing momentum for CS education and STEM education research broadly taking hold across the country have helped to pave the way for the CS for All Initiative. Learn more at NSF Funding for CS Education NSF is strongly committed to building the knowledge base - creating research and development - for CS education, and broadening participation among underrepresented students for years to come. www.nsf.gov/csforall STEM + Computing Partnerships (STEM+C) SEARCH FUNDING A WA RDS DISCOV ERIES NEWS PUBLICA TIONS STA TISTICS A BOUT NSF FA STLA NE
