We are making computer science teachable.
In New York City and beyond, Cornell Tech is committed to preparing more K-12 educators, students, and families for the digital age.
We believe that, starting in elementary school, all children should have access to the computer science content and computational thinking strategies they’ll need as digital citizens. In collaboration with our partners, we work to transform K-12 education.

In schools across New York City, we’re working with educators to bring computing to life.
“Nothing will impact the future of technology more than equitable access to a computing education.”
