With respect to previous studies and the state of the quality of K-12 computing education research, there remains room to improve the quality and quantity of research being conducted as well as the identification of research gaps focused on ensuring all children's learning needs are considered. To mitigate this, our project was designed to answer three research questions: How comprehensive is K-12 CER when examined with a specific lens on how it explicitly addresses broadening participation in computing or equity goals? What are the barriers that prevent K-12 computing education researchers from conducting research across the four components of CAPE? How effective are new resources, materials and workshops specifically created to address the gaps in and barriers to producing high-quality, equity-focused K-12 CER?
