The project will...
The National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program awarded a $1,299,990 Project Grant to Hofstra University to develop and test innovations in computer science education through engineering design in New York. The 4-year project, starting June 1, 2024, aims to address the shortage of computer science teachers by training middle and high school technology and engineering teachers to teach computer science courses. Key project components include implementing a statewide engineering design-based computer science curriculum, recruiting and retaining diverse students, establishing a pathway to dual teacher certification in technology/engineering and computer science, and fostering family engagement in computer science education. The project will be piloted in 12 school districts across rural, suburban, and urban areas of New York, with plans to collect qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the program's effectiveness in broadening participation and interest in computer science. Hofstra University will collaborate with subawardees as part of this initiative.
