The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,061,469 Project Grant to the Learning Partnership LLC under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to increase access to and success in Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science Principles (CSP) for African American and Hispanic students in the Chicago Public Schools district.

The Learning Partnership will collaborate with DePaul University and Chicago Public Schools to ensure every high school offers AP CSP, enrollment reflects school demographics, and exam success is equivalent across student subgroups. The project aims to address inequities in computer science education by providing professional development to approximately 75 teachers on culturally responsive pedagogy and computer science content to support AP CSP implementation in all schools. This is expected to double AP CSP enrollment to around 4,000 students within three years, primarily from neighborhood schools with Black and Hispanic students. Research will identify factors influencing AP CSP expansion district-wide and develop strategies to support the effort.
