Computer Science Is for All Students!
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.
