This $3,033,189 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance. ECEP aims to address systemic barriers that perpetuate underrepresentation of students, including women, Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Indigenous, low-income, and students with disabilities, in K-12 computing education.
The ECEP Alliance supports 30 state teams to develop and implement policies, pathways, and practices to broaden participation in computing (BPC). Key ECEP activities include building state capacity through resources, convenings, and collaborations; leveraging state data systems to track BPC gaps and outcomes; and providing coaching and guidance to catalyze BPC student outcomes. ECEP also offers open access to its tools, research, and knowledge base through initiatives like the annual ECEP Connect convening. The award includes several sub-grants to partner organizations such as Gibson Consulting Group, Michigan State University, North Carolina State University, and Sagefox Consulting Group to support various aspects of the ECEP program.
