Computer Science Education Week is an annual call to action to inspire K-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for equity, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field.
In honor of CSTA’s 20th Anniversary, this year’s theme is "Looking Back, Leaping Forward." We’ll honor past achievements while inspiring the next generation to leap forward into new possibilities. Save the date to celebrate from Dec. 9-15.

STEAM in the PARK 2025 ANNOUNCEMENT
PDK International is proud to facilitate our Distinguished Educator Fellowship diving into the issues in education today. We are seeking people with experience and intellectual honesty to work with PDK to raise the narrative and examine the complex contexts around the issues of public education and how PDK can be poised to make an impact on those issues.
As a PDK Distinguished Educator Fellow, you will have the opportunity to interact with like-minded colleagues from different areas to work as a think-tank considering educational topics at hand while getting the opportunity to lead and learn through community-driven professional development.
Nearly half of PDK’s Board of directors came from the Fellows program, the effort that inspired this new initiative, who have collectively gone on to become superintendents, executive directors, renowned innovative thinkers, and luminaries in education. https://pdkintl.org/distinguishededucators/
