The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,078,931 project grant to the College Entrance Examination Board (The College Board) under the CISE Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to develop and nationally disseminate teacher professional learning, lesson plans, and instructional resources for a new Advanced Placement Computer Science A (AP-CSA) course offering. This project aims to increase the participation of students from underrepresented groups in computer science by incorporating relevant artificial intelligence topics and employing a project-based learning pedagogy. The research partnership plans to prepare over 150 teachers and lead to the full dissemination of the AP-CSA course products to more than 3,000 students nationwide. This grant reflects NSF's mission to support innovative projects that advance computing education and broaden participation in technology fields.
