Statewide Efforts

Advancing K-16 CS education in a state is a complex and collaborative endeavor. CS education state summits are an important part of this process and can help to develop and advance a state’s strategy for expanding CS education access. In particular, summits can balance and broaden change by giving voice to all stakeholders in a collaborative and action oriented environment.
