This bill establishes a federal grant program designed to significantly expand access to computer science education for students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. The Secretary of Education is authorized to award these grants to eligible entities, including states, local educational agencies, and eligible Tribal schools, for up to five years. The program aims to create replicable models for comprehensive computer science education expansion across the nation, addressing the current disparities in access. Grant applicants must outline plans to ensure all high school students have access to computer science education within five years and that younger students have a progressive pathway from prekindergarten through middle school. Funds are required to be used for activities such as training Pk-12 computer science teachers , expanding access to high-quality learning materials, and providing additional support for students traditionally underrepresented in STEAM fields. Permissible uses include building regional collaborations with industry and higher education institutions, recruiting instructional personnel, and incorporating artificial intelligence into the classroom. The bill authorizes a total of $250,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 and the subsequent four fiscal years to support these initiatives. A key focus of the program is to expand overall access to rigorous STEAM classes, utilizing computer science as a catalyst to reduce enrollment and academic achievement gaps for underrepresented groups, including minorities, girls, and youth from low-income families. Grantees are required to submit regular reports on student participation, disaggregated by various demographic factors, to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement. The Secretary of Education will then compile these findings into a comprehensive report for Congress, recommending further program expansion based on the outcomes.
