Sphero Announces New Commitment for 2025 to Strengthen the Computer Science Education Movement through Equity Across the Nation

GREENVILLE, Texas, December 3, 2024— Today, Sphero, Inc. announces its involvement with CSforALL for the eighth year in a row to support 143 commitments from 136 organizations made by the CSEd member community. The cohort comprises schools and school districts; nonprofits; universities and colleges; curriculum and content providers; researchers; corporate partners, and more. The goal of the annual CSforALL commitments is for individuals and organizations to move beyond theory and inspire leaders to make a noticeable difference in computer science education while empowering future generations to become creators, innovators, and problem-solvers. Check out a visual representation of the Commitment Highlights here.

“We’re happy to offer the Sphero Power Up Program again in 2025 to loan our robots to schools and organizations that will provide the power of STEM learning to thousands of deserving students,” says Paul Copioli, Sphero CEO. “Collectively, in tandem with other organizations and CSforAll, we’re helping to close the STEM divide in education.”

CSforALL commitments are new, specific, and measurable actions aimed at advancing the goal of rigorous and inclusive computer science education for all U.S. youth. They are designed to grow support and momentum for a sustainable K-12 computer science education system both in and out of school. This public model allows emerging and current leaders to address unmet needs of CS education and build awareness of national CS and education challenges. This year’s commitment makers had the opportunity to make commitments in four categories, including a new category added for 2024: broadening participation in computing (BPC); increasing equitable access and outcomes; building capacity; and raising awareness.
