Central Connecticut State University received a $288,100 three-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop the Scaffolded Projects for the Social Good (SPSG) framework. The SPSG framework aims to help computing programs incorporate externally-sourced service learning projects supporting nonprofit organizations into existing software engineering and similar courses. It will provide a customizable set of curricular materials to streamline the software development process and offer formative and summative student assessments. The goal is to increase opportunities for competency-based learning through solving real-world problems in an authentic environment using current practices and tools, coupled with mentorship from volunteers and near-peers. Upon completion, the SPSG framework will help address technical and professional skills gaps by enabling students to make meaningful contributions to nonprofit missions while demonstrating computing's societal impacts. The award period runs from June 2023 through May 2026.
