    Registration for the STEP CS Welcome Event on Monday, May 19 6 - 8 PM at University of Washington is open!

    To find out more and to register (by May 11):  https://tinyurl.com/stepcswelcome25 

    The 2024-25 cohort of the STEP CS program is happening now.  The students in the STEP CS program stay for a 5th quarter in their Masters in Education program to take classes in CS pedagogy and work on a CS teaching certification.

     

    The Washington State chapter of the Computer Science Teachers' Association (CSTA Washington) is hosting an evening of activities, networking, and food to warmly welcome these new teachers to a community passionate about supporting equitable and inclusive computing education. This was formerly called the STEP CS lightning talk event - this year we're planning activity tables to facilitate conversation! 

    We are currently looking for 2-3 volunteer "activity table hosts" - people or organizations that have an activity that can be shared with rotating groups of people for 10 minutes at a time. Please email bricker@cs.washington.edu if you have an idea and are/or interested in hosting!
