Our mission
The mission of the center is to understand how to make CS education equitable and accessible for everyone from early childhood to adulthood while addressing opportunity gaps in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
Our vision is that teachers and students in all contexts have access to evidence-based practices and resources to actively participate in a computational world. Toward that end, we are collaborating with global partners to:
