Computer Science Mentorship and Achievement with Relevance for Teachers and Students (CSMARTS)
CSMARTS aims to improve middle school student achievement and teacher quality in computer science by developing and testing effective culturally and societally relevant computer science and engineering design curriculum and pedagogy. Targeting urban students in grades 6 – 8, especially girls from African American and Latino backgrounds, CSMARTS is an intervention program in partnership with Los Angeles area charter middle schools. It is affiliated with the Institute for Engineering Cross-cultural Competence (IEC3) and the part of USC Viterbi Adopt-a-School, Adopt-a-Teacher (VAST) program.
