Advancing computing, AI, and cybersecurity education through rigorous research that strengthens student success and expands opportunities for all students

At the Institute for Advancing Computing Education, we’re advancing computing education for every student.

IACE (pronounced eye-ACE) is an independent, non-partisan, nonprofit research institute dedicated to advancing computer science education for all students.

We develop and share evidence-based approaches that expand access to CS learning—ensuring opportunities for every learner. This includes studies that focus on girls and boys, students with and without disabilities, those from rural, town, suburban, and urban communities, and many other groups of learners from across the world.
