- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and validate a versatile, multi-contextual, and multi-language assessment tool to evaluate student knowledge of core computing concepts. The $143,278 award to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will enhance the existing Second Computer Science 1 (SCS1) assessment, creating the new SCS1++ assessment. Key project objectives include: Constructing validity arguments for...
- This $999,395 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a partnership between a rural school district and two community organizations to collaboratively design an innovative middle school computer science-rich curriculum focused on sustainable food production in local community gardens. The project aims to generate opportunities for middle school students to engage in computer science learning grounded in serving their...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the University of Denver in providing scholarships, academic programming, and mentorship to 19 high-achieving, low-income students pursuing bachelor's degrees in computer science over a six-year period. The $996,598 project aims to address financial, academic, and social barriers that hinder student success in this high-demand STEM field, with the goal of increasing degree completion...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) totaling $149,999 will fund the development and assessment of a two-stage exam process to improve teaching and learning outcomes in introductory computer science courses. The George Washington University will receive the funding to implement multiple choice exams requiring answer justifications from students. Those demonstrating knowledge gaps will participate in structured post-exam interviews to...
- This $377,800 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve computer science curricula by integrating accessible technology concepts into foundational courses. The project, titled "Bridging the Accessible Technology Gap: Connecting Industry and Computing Faculty for the Adoption of Evidence-Based Teaching of Accessibility Concepts," will engage computing faculty in professional development workshops and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) seeks to co-develop and implement a locally relevant and integrated computer science curriculum that centers the lived experiences of rural Hawaiian students and communities. The $1,609,724 project, awarded to Teachers College Columbia University, will use a mixed methods approach to iteratively co-design and evaluate curricular materials that support youth in developing strong...
- This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) aims to redesign an introductory computer science (CS1) course to teach programming with the aid of large language model (LLM) AI assistants. The key goals are to: 1) Redesign the CS1 course to emphasize skills like code reading, testing, and problem decomposition rather than just syntax and writing code from scratch; 2) Study how...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to help computer science departments at liberal arts institutions develop or update their undergraduate computer science (CS) majors. The $124,088 award to Washington & Jefferson College will be used to deploy, test, and revise a structured, facilitated process for faculty to review and revise their CS curricula. This effort is intended to ensure CS programs at liberal arts institutions respond to evolving student needs, adhere to international CS curriculum guidelines, and align with local priorities. The project plans to guide departments through a backward design process for curriculum revision, with the college's distinctive mission and goals driving the decision-making around program outcomes, curriculum structure, and core/elective content selection. This project seeks to enhance the capacity of faculty at liberal arts institutions to innovate their CS curricula and develop adaptive, effective programs that contribute to building a broadly prepared computing workforce.
