Overview:
CS4HS is a new effort by UCLA, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of Washington with additional funding from Google to provide high school (and K-8) teachers with resources for teaching computer science principles to their students in a fun and relevant way. Our goals include helping teachers present exciting possibilities available in computer science careers, a broader perspective of computer science beyond programming languages, and a computer science curriculum that supports gender and socio-economic diversity
