About CSTA

The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) understands that teaching computer science is hard. That’s why our dedicated team and teacher-led Board of Directors focus on creating a strong environment to support K–12 educators.

Our vision is to ensure that every student is prepared for a world powered by computing. The path to this goal requires a united community of supported and empowered educators delivering high quality, accessible, and inclusive computer science education for their students. To support this vision, CSTA is focused on:

  • Creating a thriving community that fosters continuous growth, belonging, and connection among CS educators.
  • Equipping educators with the CS teaching and learning resources they need to elevate their practice.
  • Deepening and expanding leadership for CS educators.
  • Advocating for our vision and mission at the local, state, and national levels, and
  • Collaborating to realize our vision.

Consortium Involvement 

We are excited to join the consortium to help ensure that computer science serves as the foundation for the future of AI. Our involvement will focus on bringing a strong CS education perspective to AI initiatives, emphasizing impact, access, and foundational skills. We look forward to collaborating on resources and strategies that prepare both educators and students to engage meaningfully with AI through a solid grounding in computer science.
