Texas Computer Science Pipeline

Statewide Professional Development Network

The Texas CS Pipeline initiative is a statewide professional development network dedicated to broadening participation in K-12 computer science. The project is funded by a $14 million grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board awarded to the WeTeach_CS program at UT Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center.

The project goals are to:

• Increase the number of secondary certified teachers in computer science in Texas
• Increase the number of schools offering computer science courses in Texas
• Increase and diversify the number of students taking HS computer science courses in TX
• Increase the number of students in K-8 experiencing computational thinking, coding, and programming aligned to the Technology Applications TEKS and through integration with core disciplines.
