2021 CSforALL-PA Summit
June 21- 25, 2021
CS Celebrations
The Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education is pleased to announce the fourth annual Pennsylvania Computer Science For All (CSforALL-PA) Summit will be held virtually June 21, 2021 to June 25th, 2021.
As outlined in Governor Wolf’s PASmart initiative, most good paying jobs in Pennsylvania, and across the country, over the next decade will require some form of education or training in the fields of Computer Science (CS) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). To help meet this demand, Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Governor Wolf and Acting Secretary of Education Ortega, is working to create and expand access to computer science learning for all.
The CSforALL-PA Summit offers educators, leaders, and stakeholders the opportunity to share, discuss, and collaboratively develop tools, resources, and practices for CS learning experiences. The Summit specifically focuses on equitably serving historically under-served populations including students with disabilities, English Learners, and females. The theme for 2021, CS Celebrations, honors how educators across the Commonwealth created, adapted, and expanded CS learning opportunities throughout a year of change.
