Citadel Awarded $1.6 Million Noyce Grant to Build Computer Science Teacher Leaders
The Citadel has been awarded a five-year, $1.6 million Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program grant to strengthen computer science education in rural schools. Led by STEM Director Jen Albert, Ph.D., and Professor of Computer Science Deepti Joshi, Ph.D., the project will recruit 15 teachers this fall who will begin coursework in the spring.
Each participant will complete The Citadel’s Master of Education in STEM with a new computer science education pathway and receive leadership training.
The initiative is a collaboration between The Citadel’s Zucker Family School of Education and Swain Family School of Science and Mathematics, Orangeburg County School District, and the Computer Science Teachers Association.
