The MCCE is housed at the University System of Maryland and was founded in partnership with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and the University of Maryland, College Park. The long-term vision is for a collaborative Center that has connections with USM campuses, school systems, nonprofits, industrial partners, and other government agencies for a strong public-private partnership. The MCCE Advisory Board will include representatives of multiple stakeholders and institutions, to foster a strong community-centered vision.

Building on several national-level computing initiatives (including the White House’s CS for All initiative, the NSF-funded Expanding Computing Education Pathways Alliance, and the P-12 Computing Education Framework initiative), the MCCE leverages the existing partnership between the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP), the University System of Maryland (USM), the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), and other stakeholders.
