OUR VISION

Every child will have access to an excellent computer science education so they have the opportunity to become innovation leaders who change the world for the better. 

​We are committed to expanding opportunities in computer science for all students by:

• Recruiting a diverse set of dedicated teachers who are passionate about teaching computer science;
• Developing and preparing teachers from within our network to provide students with a high-quality CS-education and a dynamic classroom experience; and
• Mobilizing the greater CS community to support local innovation in CS education, while celebrating the achievements of teachers and students.
