Computer Science & AI Education for All
The CS Everyone Center for Computer Science Education was created to boost teachers’ capabilities around computer science (CS) and artificial intelligence (AI) education, responding to student demand and preparing the workforce of tomorrow. Teachers across Florida and the nation, regardless of their subject area, will have access to professional development and resources, enabling them to seamlessly integrate CS and AI into their teaching.
