We craft totally-free, research-based, integrated Computer Science and Data Science modules for Math, Science, Business and Social Studies classes grades 5-12. By supporting non-CS teachers in delivering rigorous and engaging computing content in the classes that every student takes - regardless of gender, race, or background - Bootstrap is one of the largest providers of formal CS education to girls and underrepresented students nationwide: nearly 50% of our students are African-American or Latin(x), and nearly 45% are girls and young women. This commitment to equity infused into everything we do, at the curricular, tool and pedagogy level.

Our modules are designed so that teachers can mix-and-match content to fit their needs, whether to incorporate a few lessons, a 3-week unit, or a standalone course in data science, sophisticated interactive programming, or even an AP CS Principles course.

By leveraging the existing network of math, social studies, business and science teachers nationwide, Bootstrap is built to scale. Most of our teachers have also attended a Professional Development Workshop, where they received specialized training to deliver the class.
