About CSforAll-MN

Computer Science for All Minnesota (CSforAll-MN) is a collaborative effort by leaders in education, industry, nonprofit organizations, and higher education institutions from across Minnesota dedicated to advancing equitable computer science education policies and opportunities for every K-12 student in the state.

Every Minnesota student deserves access to and participation in high-quality computer science education.

We work toward that goal by:

  • Recommending state-level computing education policies;
  • Convening shareholders across the state to create connections between organizations and communities;
  • Listening to diverse shareholder voices;
  • Gathering statewide data to share with policy makers, leaders, schools, and families;
  • Disseminating research- and practice-based resources.
