About

Support Discover Computer Science

Discover Computer Science is a cohort-based program designed to help every student feel they belong in computer science. Through mentorship, community, and hands-on support, students build confidence, develop skills, and persist in the major.

Your gift can expand access to this transformative experience—especially for students who may not yet see themselves in computing and those historically underrepresented in the field.

With donor support, Discover CS can:

  • Create community-building events that foster connection and belonging.
  • Bring in guest speakers who inspire and broaden career pathways.
  • Offer hands-on workshops that explore creative approaches to computing.
  • Support innovative learning experiences like e-textiles, blending coding with fabric, circuits, and wearable design.

These experiences help students connect computing to their own interests and identities—turning curiosity into confidence and potential into opportunity.

Make your gift today and help more students discover their place in computer science.
