Join us October 23–25, 2024 to share, learn, and celebrate the #CSforALL movement. This year’s Summit theme, “Leading Action to Impact,” is focused on the essence of moving beyond solely learning or talking about computer science education, and instead taking concrete steps that create positive change for all students. Our goal for this Summit is for individuals and organizations to go beyond theory and make a real difference in computer science education. It’s about empowering future generations to become creators, innovators, and problem-solvers who can shape the world with technology.
