GoSTEAM@Tech is an educational collaborative based at Georgia Tech to create sustainable, school-based initiatives that integrate the arts and music into Computer Science, Engineering, and Invention & Entrepreneurship education in authentic and compelling ways. STEM and art/music teachers are paired throughout the year with Innovators in Residence and GoSTEAM coaches to engage students in creative STEAM-focused experiences and to promote vertical teaming between schools, universities and the community. The ultimate goal of GoSTEAM is to create and disseminate thoroughly assessed preK-12 interventions that authentically integrate the arts into the technical fields of engineering and computer science and that promote deep learning in both fields.

LatinX Computer Science Students Focus of New NSF-Funded Research Grant for Georgia Tech, University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras
Georgia Tech and the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras receive $2.9 million NSF grant to design informal learning computer science curriculum and broaden access to STEM education. The "Collaborative Research Broadening Participation of LatinX Students in Computer Science by Integrating Culturally Relevant Computational Music Practices" will directly address the lack of representation of Latinx and Spanish-speaking students in computer science. This NSF-funded project will expand middle and high school students' STEM engagement and opportunities within both the continental United States and Puerto Rico. The creative approach will teach code and music composition by designing, implementing, and assessing a new informal learning curriculum.
