Computer Science Education

With support from the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), Sacred Heart University will identify school districts across Connecticut for readiness to implement a K-12 Computer Science pathway and invite them to be part of the Computer Science Professional Learning Action Network (CS-PLAN). SHU will design a professional learning program to support selected district partners through a planning and implementation process. District partners will identify training needs to thoughtfully integrate Computer Science into the academic program.

Project {FUTURE} is a $5.1 million dollar, multi-state, multi-year research project led by Sacred Heart University and funded by the US Department of Education to bring Computer Science learning opportunities and curriculum innovations to partnering schools.

Sacred Heart University is proud to be the Connecticut partner of Code.org, sharing in the mission to bring Computer Science learning experiences to every kid in every school. Sacred Heart University sponsors Code.org workshops for K-12 teachers on our campus, across the state, and online.
