To help more students access computer science, especially students from underserved communities, Code.org has partnered with DonorsChoose to award $1 million to U.S. schools — that’s right, a MILLION dollars. As part of the 10th Hour of Code, one middle and high school in every U.S. state and D.C. will be awarded the CS Leaders Prize of $10,000 for increasing access to computer science education for their students.

Computer Science Education Week (CS Ed Week) is an annual call to action for the inclusion of computer science in K-12 education. It’s an opportunity to advocate for equity and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners in ensuring ALL students have an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of computer science as well as to dive deeper into CS concepts to prepare for a career.

Commissioner Infante-Green is challenging K-12 students across Rhode Island to design an app that allows Rhode Island students and families to communicate and connect with each other safely during a global pandemic we are all experiencing.

It’s hard to believe that CSEdWeek 2020 is nearly here! We’re so excited about the events and resources we’ve developed with our partners to help you inspire your students in the classroom, advocate for computer science, and to celebrate you!

National Family Code Nights are a great opportunity to celebrate CS Ed Week and support family engagement! CS is Elementary is sponsoring these live events and providing all the necessary support to schools.

Due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19, we have decided to move to a virtual platform. Join CSTA New England Regional conference on October 24, 2020. CSTA Greater Boston will be the host of this conference.

View the Class of 2020 Graduates from around Rhode Island and join us in celebrating these students by reading about their CS journey, interests, advice, and shout outs!

Doug Rademacher, lead computer science and information technology teacher at the Met School in Providence, Rhode Island has been named the recipient of the 2020 CS4RI/CSTA-RI Computer Science Education Award.

If you are a middle or high school student interested in design thinking for inclusivity sign up for this 1 hour webinar/workshop on June 24, 2020 at 5:00 pm ET, which will be hosted by Infosys Designers.

Calling all K-12 public school teachers to apply to the Infosys Foundation USA’s Pathfinders Summer Institute taking place virtually from July 19-24. This week-long professional development opportunity offers 19 different courses for teachers in computer science and maker education.

Infy Maker Awards is open to K-12 schools and youth-serving organizations who aim to create more opportunities for students to engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary learning through making. Ten organizations will each receive a $10,000 grant.

RIDE is pleased to announce that the new Computer Science for Rhode Island (CS4RI) High School Grant is now accepting applications. CS4RI High School Grants will provide funding to 20 Rhode Island high schools to establish computer science pathways and study the impact of work-based learning on students’ AP computer science scores. The program is funded through a $2.5M grant that RIDE was awarded from the US Department of the Education in the fall.

The Infosys Foundation USA is taking the Pathfinders Institute on the road this winter and traveling to Providence, RI! This unique opportunity for intensive, in-person professional development for K-12 public school teachers in computer science and making will take place at the University of Rhode Island from February 16-20, 2020.
