CS for ALL (Scripting for All): NSF award # 1612451
Computing has long been a valuable specialty. Increasingly,
computational skillsets, toolsets, and mindsets are
being considered a cornerstone of professional literacy,
akin to cogent writing, critical reading, and compelling
presentation. (Even if not quite as universal!)
CS departments evolved to
convey the valuable specialty of CS. Institutional
structures for developing the professional literacy of
computing, however, are far less mature. This NSF
project, Computing for Insight or CFI
(also nicknamed "Scripting
for All") explores how post-secondary paths
can most effectively
help all students -- especially non-CS
majors -- gain confidence and comfort with the
literacy of computing.
Thus far, the most important insights gained have been
