Reenvisioning Equitable Computer Science Education
Tequity4All is a social entrepreneur committed to revolutionizing computer science education for pre-Kindergarten to 8th-grade students in Maryland. We are dedicated to broadening participation in computer science, particularly among marginalized groups. We are building a coalition to incubate and innovate promising educational practices in robotics, physical computing, and responsible artificial intelligence. We advocate for engaging, cross-disciplinary, project-based learning approaches which promote communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Our strategy ensures that students develop marketable and foundational skills in computational thinking, computer science, and engineering,

Who We Are
What We Do
We offer a range of programs and resources to help students learn computer science in an engaging and effective way. We bring together schools, teachers, business people, and funders to ensure students receive a high-quality computing education that empowers them to realize their passions in whatever field they pursue. We work to build, promote, and sustain computing learning excellence throughout the state. This work will fuel innovation and a vibrant work/life environment. We aim to enable schools to provide equitable access to at least 10 hours of computer science and robotics instruction annually for every PreK-8 public school student in the state. Five other states and seventeen countries have made computer science compulsory in primary and secondary schools. The time for Maryland to do the same is now! Tequity4All offers guidance to school systems and develops resources to expedite this effort. Tequity4All raises funds to provide grants to schools to realize this vision. Consider donating to support this vital work.
Outreach
Tequity4All co-hosts community outreach events to raise public awareness on the importance computer science.
Fund Raising
Tequity4All raises funds to grant to schools to bring in-school physical computing such as robotics to every student. Schools can use these funds to supplement their state a local funding to purchase equipment, curriculum, and professional development.
Mentoring
An effective physical computing program, requires much more that equipment. The instructional program is only as effective as the teacher delivering it and the administrator behind it. Tequity4All plans to connect schools to expertise and resources so their robotics programs succeed.
