NJ Computer Science Hubs

Three Computer Science Hubs (CS Hubs) have been established at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Kean University and Rutgers University in New Brunswick to provide professional learning opportunities for New Jersey educators and to promote the growth of computer science. The services provided by the CS Hubs will help realize the strategic goals identified in the NJ Computer Science State Plan. The three universities were selected as the recipients of the NJ Department of Education Expanding Access to Computer Science: Professional Learning grant award funded through the NJ Fiscal Year 2021 Appropriations Act.
