Ever wondered how to blend ice cream, computer science, and design into a hands-on experience for students? Through the Rutgers EIR project, Rutgers University and Roselle Park Middle School joined forces to create an exciting - and delicious - project that does just that! They share this lesson with educators from across the country at the 2025 National Conference on Science Education.

A high school computer science teacher transforms challenges into opportunities through the CS-TLC RPP. By connecting with a statewide network of educators, accessing professional development, and creating hands-on learning experiences for students, she reinvigorated her passion for teaching while helping students see the real-world impact of computer science.

Rutgers CESP and the Department of Computer Science hosted the 7th Annual Computer Science Summit, gathering educators, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to discuss emerging trends, best practices, and the future of computer science education.

Rutgers CESP was selected as a USDOE grant awardee in the 2020 award cycle, the only recipient from New Jersey. Their project builds on existing work to enhance CS instruction at the middle school level, working to engage learners and invite them to continue and succeed in the CS pipeline.
