CSTA Silicon Valley

Advice from recent high school grads to K-12 CS teachers: ▶️ Always be patient. Encouragement makes a huge difference in persistence. ▶️ Keep going. Your job is so hard, often thankless but so important. We need you. Thanks to @drabigailjoseph for moderating at #CSTA2024!

@BTwarek @MehranSahami Mehran is wonderful!

We don’t teach computing in order to create an army of programmers. We teach computing because it’s a way of thinking, a way of solving problems. —@MehranSahami at #CSTA2024

Thank you to equity fellow Daa’iyah Cooke for speaking about the importance of believing in students in order to support them at the #CSTA2024 closing keynote.

We need to do better with accessibility in K-12 CS education. At #CSTA2024, @AndreasStefik of @unlv shares suggestions to make CS more accessible to students with disabilities: 1️⃣ Ed: only use accessible tech 2️⃣ @NSF: consider accessibility in grant reviews 3️⃣ tech: do better
