      2026 ECEP Summit attendees discuss increasing universal computer science education access and navigating challenges in the education space.

      The Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance is thrilled to announce a new grant from Siegel Family Endowment (SFE), a partnership that will accelerate our mission to facilitate systemic change in computing education. This funding is dedicated to deepening our state-level efforts for broadening participation in computing (BPC), ensuring that every student has access to the foundational skills needed for a world powered by technology. By continuing to build and strengthen the ECEP community, this work will focus on bringing together diverse teams, including state leaders, educators, and nonprofits to dismantle barriers and create sustainable pathways in CS and AI across the country.

      While this grant provides vital resources, ECEP deeply values the partnership with SFE far beyond the financial support. We view SFE as a true thought partner and collaborator whose inquiry-based approach to philanthropy aligns with our commitment to evidence-based, community-driven reform. Their role as a dedicated supporter and strategic ally helps us refine our vision and scale our impact, ensuring that the work we do today builds a more universal and innovative future for all learners.
