Multiple CSTA Chapters have joined forces to host the Super Southern CSEd Virtual Unconference on Sat. Mar. 25, 2023, on Hopin, with the theme of CS Across the K-12 Curriculum!

CSTA prides itself in promoting equitable access to the CSTA Annual Conference, our premier professional learning program for K-12 CS teachers, by offering scholarships that subsidize 100% of the program cost.

Please read the following from one of our CSTA Alabama chapter members:

"My name is Jill Westerlund, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Alabama. We are conducting a research study about the challenges and needs in computer science education and invite you to participate. This research seeks to advance teacher support by identifying areas of interest including within regions and states."

Do you want to influence the content selected for the conference? Become a CSTA 2023 reviewer! The call for reviewers will close on Oct. 28, 2022. Applicants will be notified of their selection by Nov. 6 and will be required to attend reviewer training at 7 p.m. ET on Thurs., Nov. 10, 2022.

"We are excited to share with you that the CSTA LatinX Affinity group is growing! This is a community of dedicated and passionate CS educators who believe in the importance of building and sustaining quality CS programs in all our schools, and especially in schools serving Hispanic and Latinx students. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated to pay tribute to the generations of Hispanic and Latinx Americans who have enriched our nation. It is celebrated during September 15 – October 15 and the theme this year is Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation."
