 Today Google announces the launch of Computer Science Custom Search
<http://www.cs4hs.com/resources/cscs.html>, a customized search engine for
finding K-12 computer science education (CS) resources. Developed
using a collection
of over 550 CS education websites, such as Khan Academy
<https://www.khanacademy.org>,  <http://www.cs-first.com/>Google CS First
<http://www.cs-first.com>, <http://www.girldevelopit.com/>Girl Develop It
<http://www.girldevelopit.com>, <http://getbootstrap.com/>Bootstrap
<http://getbootstrap.com>, <http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/>ScratchEd
<http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu>, <http://code.org/>Code.org
<http://code.org> and <https://www.madewithcode.com/>Made with Code
<https://www.madewithcode.com> to name a few, CS Custom Search connects you
to computer science education materials and programs. By focusing on a list
of websites that provide primarily free and open K-12 CS education
resources, the customized search engine ensures that you will find
materials that can be readily adopted for your class, after school program,
or enrichment for your child.

 CS Custom Search has been designed to support a range of users with
varying degrees of experience with CS. For those with extensive experience,
CS Custom Search has been optimized to support queries for unique CS topics
across a wide range of languages and platforms. For those with less
experience, the custom search solution provides recommendations on a range
of search topics to ensure that
<http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2538862.2538933>a lack of CS vocabulary
<http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2538862.2538933> doesn’t negatively
impact your results.

 Start searching by visiting www.cs4hs.com/resources/cscs.html.
