Burt Kaufman, a mathematics curriculum specialist, headed the team at SIU writing CSMP. He eventually started the Institute for Mathematics & Computer Science (IMACS). IMACS appears to use elements of the program in their "Mathematics Enrichment" program. For instance, mini-computers and "Eli the Elephant" are present in the IMACS material. IMACS is a private education business focusing on the instruction of students from first grade through high school.{{cn|date=April 2016}}https://www.imacs.org/about/news/burt-kaufman.html

MathBRIX, a cloud-delivered CSMP version for children 4 to 8, contains the visual learning strategies (strings, arrows, minicomputer, math manipulatives) and follows the overall methodology. It was funded by the National Science Foundation. A number of the original CSMP developers are advisors to the ongoing project, including Clare Heidema, CSMP Director for 25 years, and Dr. Tom Giambrone, CSMP developer in the 1980s and currently Professor of Mathematics at Buffalo State. Two of the early CSMP evaluators, Dr. Martin Herbert and Dr. Gail Marshall, have also contributed their expertise.
