The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a three-year, $249,120 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to Purdue University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Arizona State University. The project, titled "CUE-T: Hidden Curricula-Addressing Unseen Challenges within Computer Science Education," aims to understand how hidden curricula - the knowledge, skills, and experiences students need to gain outside formal learning environments - impact students' well-being and success, particularly among underrepresented and first-generation students in computer science (CS) education. The research will investigate factors from hidden curricula that pose risks to students' mental health, study students' interactions with programming environments to address technical challenges, and evaluate the impact of makerspaces on students' creativity, exploratory skills, and sense of belonging. The goal is to develop learner-centered solutions to support students' understanding of computing concepts and skills, making CS education more inclusive and accessible.
