Consortium for Generative AI in CS Education
Shaping the Future of Computer Science Education in the Age of AI.
Welcome to the Consortium
The rapid evolution of generative AI is transforming our world, reshaping industries and creating new possibilities. For education, this presents both a monumental challenge and a unique opportunity. The Consortium for Generative AI in CS Education is a collaborative initiative designed to empower postsecondary educators to navigate this new landscape with confidence and creativity.
Our mission is to support educators in strategically adapting their teaching methods and curricula. We provide the resources, training, and community support necessary to integrate generative AI effectively, ensuring students develop the advanced skills required for the jobs of tomorrow while upholding academic integrity.
