The National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program awarded a $1,999,941 project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The grant, awarded on October 15, 2023, will fund a partnership between the National Center for CS Education at the College of Saint Scholastica, Hermantown Community School, Fond du Lac Ojibwe School, St. Louis County Public Schools, and Duluth Public Schools. The project aims to build Minnesota district and educator capacity in computer science education in order to increase access to and participation in K-12 computer science, particularly in rural and tribal communities. Key activities include creating a professional learning network, developing inclusive K-8 computer science-integrated curricula, expanding connections between Ojibwe language/culture and computer science, and supporting districts in creating sustainable K-12 computer science pathways. The project will also conduct research on strategies for addressing equity in computer science education for Native American students and students with special education designations.
