Education research team successfully launches innovative computer science curriculum

The Exploring Computer Science (ECS) program in Los Angeles addresses disparities in computer science education by focusing on problem-solving and hands-on learning. Supported by the National Science Foundation, ECS aims to engage a diverse group of students, particularly from low-income areas, in computer science. The curriculum encourages collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, preparing students for future careers. Teacher development is crucial for ECS's success, and the program has positively impacted students, leading to career opportunities and its expansion across the US.
