CSinPA: April 2022
CELEBRATIONS AND SHOUT-OUTS
The recent PA CSTA Unconference was an awesome day of learning for everyone involved, (thanks, PA CSTA chapters!) especially two lucky participants. Kisha Vaughn and Bruce Karpe were selected at random to receive a travel package to attend the 2022 CSforAllPA Summit. We're looking forward to seeing you in Harrisburg, Kisha and Bruce!
We want to celebrate CS efforts in your community!
