Our Mission

We are excited you want to know more about the Colorado chapter of CSTA! The mission of our chapter is to build communities of educators that share resources and provide support for the advancement of computer science education across the state.

How do we do this? We are currently in the process of restructuring our chapter so that it is more inclusive and supportive of all teachers across the state. We are moving to a system that leverages Regional Chairs, who can host workshops and events in your local area. These Regional Chairs will be the hub for each local community! If you are interested in being a regional chair for your area, please reach out to us using the contact form found above.

We plan to come together as a state four times a year to share statewide news, and then teachers will meet face-to-face in their local regions to learn, collaborate, and share.
