The CSforALL organization will launch a new Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliance focused on bringing together the full ecosystem of K-12 organizations supporting computer science (CS) education across the United States. CSforALL has a current membership of over 800 school districts, charter schools, private schools, curriculum providers, non profit organizations, and researchers. As a part of this new alliance, CSforALL will create a shared movement to increase the capacity of these members to offer access to high quality CS instruction and ensure that all students are provided fundamental learning opportunities which support increased enrollment of women, Black, and Hispanic students in elective and AP classes in preparation for college and career. Barriers to participation exist not only in isolated pockets across the US, but pervade the very fabric of education system and data shows gaps exist in almost every community and institution across the US.The goals of the project are to leverage the CSforALL organization and membership to raise awareness of the need for CS education, build the capacity of organizations working to advance K-12 CS BPC goals and use data to landscape opportunities and progress to BPC goals. By working at scale with the national membership, while at the same time producing tools and resources for local implementation, CSforALL can create opportunities to identify, address, and eventually close BPC gaps in K-12 CS. CSforALL will leverage community and communications mechanisms such as newsletters, the annual CSforALL summit, and data opportunities such as the CSforALL commitments process and annual member survey to monitor progress towards BPC goals. CSforALL, together with its evaluation partner WestEd, will seek to answer the research question: how do the mechanisms in an alliance committed to equity and justice in CS education, composed of leaders and institutions serving students and teachers in diverse ways, drive impacts resulting in broadened participation in computing throughout the K-12 space and into college and career. CSforALL researchers will leverage both qualitative and quantitative data in order to identify mechanisms for change and alliance activities aligned with BPC goals and activities. At the same time, CSforALL will use national and partner data in order to measure change in community participation in CS and use statistical analysis to identify correlations between BPC goals and activities and progress on BPC outcomes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

CSFORALL组织将启动新的扩展计算（BPC）联盟的参与，着重于将美国支持计算机科学（CS）教育的K-12组织的完整生态系统汇集在一起​​。 CSFORALL目前拥有800多个学区，特许学校，私立学校，课程提供者，非盈利组织和研究人员。作为这一新联盟的一部分，CSFORALL将创建一个共同的运动，以提高这些成员提供高质量CS教学的能力，并确保为所有学生提供基本的学习机会，以支持增加女性，黑人和西班牙裔学生的入学率，以准备大学和职业。参与的障碍不仅存在于整个美国的孤立口袋中，而且遍及美国各地的几乎每个社区和机构中都存在差距。该项目的目标是利用CSForall组织和会员资格来提高人们对CS教育的需求的认识，以促进K-12 CS BPC BPC的目标和进步BP bps Scape的目标，以促进K-12 CS的目标。通过与国家会员资格进行大规模合作，同时为本地实施生产工具和资源，CSFORALL可以创造机会来识别，解决K-12 CS中的BPC差距。 CSFORALL将利用社区和通信机制，例如新闻通讯，年度CSFORALL峰会以及CSFORALL承诺流程和年度会员调查等数据机会，以监视BPC目标的进度。 CSFORALL及其评估伙伴WestED将寻求回答研究问题：致力于公平和正义的联盟中的机制如何由领导者和机构组成，这些机制由领导者和机构组成，以各种方式为学生和教师提供服务，推动影响的影响，从而促进整个K-112空间和大学和职业的计算。 CSFORALL研究人员将利用定性和定量数据，以确定与BPC目标和活动一致的变更和联盟活动的机制。同时，CSFORALL将使用国家和合作伙伴数据来衡量社区参与CS的变化，并使用统计分析来确定BPC目标和活动之间的相关性以及BPC成果的进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估该基金会的知识级别的功能和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得进行的支持。
