Mission:

Computing is everywhere in our modern lives. It is driving commerce and job creation, innovation in numerous other fields of science, and changing our daily lives. The discipline of computer science underpins these technological advances. It is critical that K-12 students gain the skills and knowledge that come from studying computer science, however, in Northern Virginia, like many other areas of the country, K-12 computer science is marginalized and students have little access to courses in this area.

To address this challenge this group of individuals committed to forming a chapter for the Computer Science Teachers Association, a globally recognized organization representing K-12 educators, to build a community of expertise, advocates and support to strengthen K-12 computer science education in Northern Virginia.

It's Official!

We are officially a CSTA Chapter!  We have been accepted as a local chapter - The Computer Science Teacher's Association of Northern Virginia. 

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.

Our first official meeting as a chapter will be on Friday, June 15 at 4:30 pm at George Mason University.  More details will be posted as we get closer to the date.
