CS4NorCal in the Media

EdCal Magazine (April 15, 2024)

The Spring into CS Summit, held March 16 in Redding, brought together computer science (CS) enthusiasts from around Northern California for an interactive day of professional development, networking and technology discovery. Participants were energized and excited to discuss computer science concepts and evolving CS standards for K-12 classrooms.

The event (hosted by the Butte County Office of Education in partnership with CS4NorCal and Stanislaus County Office of Education) was filled to capacity with over 100 computer enthusiasts in attendance. Educators learned new strategies for teaching computer science, at every grade and age level, while engaging with the latest trends and technology, specifically with a focus on access and inclusion in rural areas.

“The event was a great overview of computer science, and it planted seeds for teachers that may have never tried CS in their classrooms,” said participant Julie Kim, 4th Grade Math & Homeschool Teacher at Redding School of the Arts.
