认识到为每个学生提供学习计算机科学的机会的重要性，奥巴马总统在2016年1月宣布了所有计划的计算机科学[17]。使这一事实成为现实，而联邦政府可以提供资金，而各个州和领土则对标准，课程，教师认证和专业发展做出决定。所有的科学（CSFORALL）。通过扩大对马萨诸塞州和佐治亚州的计算联盟（BPC）联盟 - 信息技术教育联盟（CAITE）和佐治亚州的计算ECEP始于2012年，加利福尼亚州和南卡罗来纳州作为伙伴国家，印第安纳州作为副州，而波多黎各作为同事的领土。伙伴国家获得了更多的财务支持，并将ECEP的头几年重点放在了最初几年后开始进行州级变更的能力。从这些州和领土上的领导人分享计划，挑战和每年的面对面会议上的挑战和想法。 （NCWIT）和恒星计算军团
R ecognizing the importance of providing every student with an opportunity to learn computer science, President Obama announced his Computer Science for All initiative in January of 2016 [17]. Though this is a laudable goal, in the United States the federal government does not have the authority to make this a reality. While the federal government can provide funding, the individual states and territories make decisions about standards, curriculum, teacher certification, and professional development. In the end, only the individual states and territories can realize the goals of Computer Science for All (CSforAll). To support state-level computing education initiatives, the Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance brings states together to foster computing education reforms and the adoption of best practices for broadening participation. ECEP builds on five years of work by Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliances in Massachusetts and Georgia—the Commonwealth Alliance for Information Technology Education (CAITE) and Georgia Computes! [15]. These projects both facilitated systemic change that improved the quality of computing education and broadened participation in computing. ECEP started in 2012 with California and South Caroli-na as partner states, Alabama and Indiana as associate states, and Puerto Rico as an associate territory. ECEP has grown to include Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, Texas, and Utah as additional associate states. Partner states received more financial support and focus the first few years of ECEP to boost their ability to start making state-level change. After the first few years, additional associate states were added, states that had leaders who were willing and ready to work on state-level change. The leaders from these states and territory share plans, challenges, and ideas on monthly conference calls and at yearly in-person meetings. ECEP also partners with other BPC Alliances—such as National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) and STARS Computing Corps
