The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (doing business as RFCUNY - Brooklyn College) $339,688 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and disseminate accessibility curriculum and instructional resources for undergraduate computing education. The project will create empirically informed instructional materials, including updated accessibility games emphasizing universal design, lecture notes, and interactive assignments. The recipient will investigate how experiential learning opportunities motivate students to increase accessibility awareness and foster intentions to design accessible software. The work will also examine the challenges instructors and students face when teaching and learning accessibility in computing contexts, and establish a community of practice providing professional development, networking, guest speakers, and resource sharing for faculty teaching accessibility. Open educational materials will support broader adoption of these resources. Performance occurs in Brooklyn, New York, through September 30, 2029. The award is a Project Grant under the Engaged Student Learning track (Level 2) within the NSF IUSE program, which supports research and development projects to improve undergraduate STEM education effectiveness.
