Come to our CSTA meeting to share strategies & activities that groups can try with their students or community to increase participation & awareness around Computer Science. This is a free event - educators of all grade levels & experience levels welcome

  • We will spend time investigating different activities that could be run during CSEdWeek in both computer science & non-computer science classes. This is a great opportunity for teachers to find activities that could be integrated into their classes, especially at the elementary and middle school level.
  • Activities brainstormed during this time can also be used as recruitment activities for the Spring semester
