Starting on May 22, 2025, we are going to start hosting a few in person monthly meetings. These meetings will most likely be held at a location near Hartford to make the location central to the state. We will update with locations as soon as we confirm our reservations. Why should you attend? As convienent as virtual meetings can be - nothing can beat meeting people face to face, making connections, and feeling part of a group. Attending our in person events allows you to focus on you, and not have your attention pulled away from learning. And the subjects we have planned.... it's going to be so much fun! So stay tuned for more info, and save the dates!

" Computer science is everywhere, as are inequities, and we have the power to use and teach CS in a way that improves our society in the long run; to help our students use this amazing super power for good - to fight bias and to unite rather than divide us."

BostonFIGs annual festival took over two buildings in Harvard's athletic complex on September the 14th, exhibiting some of the most creative game development minds within New England. CT CSTA Secretary, avid game player and designer Christopher Kerr was on hand to capture the action and take a few lessons back to the classroom. What did he learn this year and what was uncovered that YOU use in your classroom? Find out after the jump!

So honored to join Seth Freeman and Shannon Marimon in Las Vegas, NV for Global CS Ed Con! I have spent the past two days sharing and learning from amazing CS educators, policy advocates, and district leaders from across the US. I am in awe of the amount of passion and creative thinking that can happen when inspired people assemble together. I felt honored to take part in this first-of-its-kind Global CS Ed Conference! Some things you must know: 1) There are CSTA Educator Standards - these are the things CS Teachers need to do well. You should check them out and review them! Do this HERE. 2) CS For All has created SCRIPT, a support system complete with RUBRICS and RESOURCES to support districts to come up with a plan for themselves. 3) CT CSTA and CSTA are here for you. Please join us at meetings! We cannot wait to create and share more ideas in person!

According to Wikipedia, Girls Who Code was founded by Reshma Saujani in 2012 who came up with the idea of creating the organization during her run for the United States Congress when she noticed that schools along her campaign route lacked girls in computer science classrooms. Since 2012, these clubs have spread throughout the United States to try to right this wrong. I was recently contacted by our local point of contact, Emma Groves Baldacci, to ask if I can help spread information on our site about Girls Who Code. I love that she reached out to us! Let's please support this great cause. More information follows...
