Our chapter was founded with the mission: The CSTA of Northern Virginia is a membership organization that supports and promotes the teaching of computer science and other computing disciplines in Northern Virginia. It provides opportunities for K-12 teachers and students to better understand computing disciplines and to more successfully prepare themselves to teach and to learn.
