Google CS Engagement Small Grants Program 

Introduction Google believes in the importance of preparing the next generation of computer scientists.  Recent enrollment data suggests that, while the overall number of students in introductory  computer science courses continue to climb, the number of students who go on to complete  undergraduate degrees in this field, particularly women and other under­represented minorities,  does not match this increase in individual course enrollment. In particular, we are finding that  while students may begin a CS program, retaining these students after their first year remains  an issue, one that is not necessarily related to talent or preparedness. In fact, research indicates  that one of the strongest factors in the retention of students in undergraduate CS degrees is  early exposure to engaging courses and course material, such as high quality assignments that  are meaningful and relevant to the student’s life or classroom activities that encourage  student­to­student interaction.    

About EngageCSEdu The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) and Google have partnered  on a project with the goal of retaining a more diverse student body in computer science  programs by helping educators find and share engaging CS1 and CS2 teaching materials.  EngageCSEdu, which is owned and managed by NCWIT, applies research­backed learnings on  engagement practices to the resources that can be found there, and integrates these practices  deeply into the website itself. We hope that EngageCSEdu will be a valuable resource to  educators teaching Computer Science at the post­secondary level, and that the community will  actively consume and contribute their own teaching materials to the project.   

Google CS Engagement Small Grants Program We believe that engaging courses keep students excited and encourage them to complete their  undergraduate CS degree. To this end, Google has created the CS Engagement Small Grants  Program to support educators teaching introductory CS courses in reaching their engagement  and retention goals. Unrestricted gifts of $5000 will be given to the selected applicants’  universities, towards the execution of an engaging CS1 or CS2 course in the 2014­2015 school  year. Educators who are teaching CS1 and CS2 courses at the post­secondary level are  encouraged to apply to the Google CS Engagement Small Grants Program. Applications will be  accepted through November 15, 2014 and will be evaluated on an ongoing basis.   Application Form 

Eligibility Google CS Engagement Awards are open to faculty or staff at accredited colleges and  universities in the United States.
