The announcement is expected to be made by Education Secretary Nicky Morgan at the BETT Show this week.
Mrs Morgan will announce a series of projects involving schools, universities and businesses to encourage the computing curriculum.
The Department for Education has offered £3.6m in matched funding to develop computing lessons. Much of this funding has already been announced and allocated to larger schemes which are already running - and the announcement this week will add some extra projects to enhance the campaign.

This initiative aims to enhance educational support for students with SEND, specifically those with communication and interaction needs, within a mainstream school setting.
