The CSTA Equity in Action Summit is a one-day virtual event bringing together K-12 CS teachers for a call to action to transform our approach to providing equitable CS education rooted in justice. Engage in strategies to equip yourself with resources on representation, access, and culturally sustaining pedagogies. Develop an action plan to increase CS education access to all students and to empower students to use CS in a just way.
Presented by the CSTA Equity Fellows.
Equity in computer science education is rooted in justice, the foundation of which is strengthened through representation and expanded access in environments that promote cultural sustainability, so students are given voice and power to use computer science for a more just society.
