CSforPGH is proud to announce the launch of the CSforPGH Index, a new microsite of tools and resources that support computer science education. Visit the site here.

Curated by members of the CSforPGH Working Group, each resource in the Index is described in technical and educational detail, along with insights on how the tools work in practice and how they can be used to promote engagement through hands-on activities, real-world learning immersions, and culturally relevant and sustaining instruction.

The Index is designed to help educators and administrators find hardware and software that meets the needs of their students, supports progress towards academic standards, and fits their budgets.

Why the Index?

As computer science is integrated into education programs across the country, educators are looking for more tools and resources to empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in this growing field.

While there’s no shortage of tools available, even those that are low-cost or no-cost to educators, resources are scattered across the web. Plus, available information often lacks the perspective of real educators who actually used the tools in their classroom or learning space. To remedy this, the CSforPGH Index features an open platform for educators to submit their user experiences, comments, and feedback.

Users can also filter their search based on grade level, standards alignment, cost, and more.
