The National Computer Science for All Movement Announces Sixth Year of Commitments

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Memphis, TN, Thursday, October 20, 2022 — As the CSforALL community advances equitable and sustainable K-12 computer science education, it also explores the ideas, policies, and events that will propel the movement forward–an exploration of game changers in CS, the theme of the 2022 CSforALL Summit. Today, the Summit announces 180 CSforALL commitments from 136 organizations made by our member community–marking growth in commitment-makers over 2021–and celebrates the forward momentum of K-12 computer science education systems in the United States.

The sixth annual Summit highlights CSforALL members and non-members expanding upon 2021’s major themes, including increasing equity and access among underrepresented groups, building capacity, raising awareness, and cultivating robust ecosystems of support in local communities. This year’s featured speakers are Múkami Kinoti Kimotho, Founder, CEO, and Chief Girl Crusader of Royelles; and Tonyaa Weathersbee, Bureau Chief of Chalkbeat Tennessee.

#CSforALL commitments are new, specific, and measurable actions aimed at advancing the goal of rigorous and inclusive computer science education for all U.S. youth and designed to grow support and momentum for a sustainable K-12 computer science education system in and out of school. Notably, 106 organizations are prior CSforALL commitment-makers, and 25 of those have made annual commitments since 2017. Overall, the CSforALL community made an incredible 1,121 commitments between 2017 and 2022. The commitments detailed below include initiatives in all 50 states and internationally.
