This $400,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), in integrating Python-based computing skills into its undergraduate social science curricula. The key goals of the 3-year project are to: 1) improve students' critical thinking and scientific reasoning skills, 2) increase recruitment and retention in social science majors with an emphasis on data science, and 3) create a minor in Social Computing or Social Data Analytics. By infusing social science education with foundational computer programming skills, the project aims to diversify the curriculum, enrich minority students' technical capabilities, and expand their career opportunities in data-intensive fields. The award reflects NSF's commitment to broadening participation and advancing prosperity for underrepresented groups in STEM.
