About IACE
Welcome to IACE: Advancing Computing Education through Research
At the Institute for Advancing Computing Education, we’re advancing computer science (CS) education for every learner.
IACE (IACE, pronounced i-ACE), formerly CSEdResearch.org, is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research institute that produces and promotes evidence-based methods to bring CS and AI education to every learner. Learning technology and how technology never stops. That’s why we support early learners through adults.
WHAT WE DO
What We Do: Leading Computing Education Research
We are at the forefront of computer science and AI education research, committed to sharing high-quality, data-driven insights to those who need it most. Accordingly, our work involves designing, conducting, and promoting research that educators find relevant and actionable. By offering resources, training, and support, we empower researchers to produce meaningful and rigorous studies that address key questions in computing education.
Our Research Goals
Formed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit by Dr. Monica McGill in 2019 as CSEdResearch.org, IACE began with a vision to support education research, researchers, and practitioners. We engage in the following activities:
Advance Research Knowledge
We elevate the understanding and production of relevant and rigorous PreK-12 CS education research.
Disseminate Findings Widely
We share research data and discoveries across a wide range of platforms.
Identify Promising Practices
We analyze and highlight effective classroom strategies to support educators and enhance student achievement.
