The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Rochester Institute of Technology $980,047 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to expand computing and information technology education pathways for middle and high school students, particularly those attending schools for the deaf. The Strengthening Pathways to Information and Computing Education (SPICE) project will develop and deliver dual-credit computer science courses, hands-on computing activities, and introductory experiences with artificial intelligence, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills. The project will create instructional materials and professional development resources for educators, establish partnerships among schools for the deaf, deaf education programs, industry partners, and higher education institutions, and generate teaching strategies and best practices adaptable across educational settings. The work targets students with limited exposure to computing concepts, STEM role models, and computing career pathways, aiming to increase career awareness, strengthen self-efficacy, and build foundational skills for successful transitions into postsecondary computing and information technology programs. Performance takes place in Rochester, New York, with the award period running through September 30, 2029. The funding is classified as a Project Grant.
