WHO ARE WE?
The Computer Science Teachers Association Sacramento Chapter was chartered in 2012. The mission of the Chapter is to support Sacramento to Stanislaus-area computer science teachers, and teachers that incorporate computer science in other subjects, increase student participation in computer science education, promote the number and variety of computer science courses and activity offerings in the local K-12 system, and communicate more effectively with local colleges to align and streamline computer science education and provide a means of communication among chapter members for sharing of ideas and computer science-related events.
Come out to a meeting and connect with other computer science teachers in the Greater Sacramento-Stanislaus Region.
