The rapid growth of CS education

Computer science, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity are rapidly becoming essential subjects in classrooms across the country—from elementary schools to universities. But to truly meet the moment, we need research that keeps pace with this growth.

Over the next decade, more than 55 million K–12 students in the U.S. will have the opportunity to explore computing. Adults, too, need accessible pathways to build CS and AI literacy as part of their education and careers. Yet while demand for computing education surges, the research needed to guide effective teaching and learning is still catching up.

That’s where we come in.

The Institute for Advancing Computing Education (IACE) is a trusted nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing equity-driven, evidence-based practices in CS education. We support and conduct research that helps educators, policymakers, and organizations create meaningful computing learning experiences—for every learner, at every level.

Let’s build the future of computing education together. Contact us today to discuss how we can collaborate.

 

  • Research

we provide research services

  • High-quality quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research studies, including longitudinal
  • State and District Level Landscape Reports
  • Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) in CS Professional Development
  • Literature based landscape reports, including synthesis and meta-analysis
  • Project evaluations (small-scale to large-scale projects)
  • Survey instrumentation development, analysis, and distribution
We also provide services related to building the capacity of K-12 CS education researchers to conduct high-quality research.
  • Research

We provide RESEARCH SERVICES

We provide landscape reports using Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance well-defined process for districts, states, and regions. Landscape reports are tailored to your specific needs and  includes recommendations for continued growth. Reports can answer stakeholders’ and policymakers’ questions, such as:

  • What is the capacity to provide high-quality computer science to all students?
  • How are high impact classroom practices implemented in CS courses?
  • Which students have access to CS courses? Which students don't?
  • Which students participate in CS courses? Do these enrollments reflect the population of the school where they are offered?
  • What are students’ completion rates of CS courses/learning experiences? What are the students’ overall experiences in their CS courses?
  • Evaluation
