There has been a lot of hype about Computer Science Education over the past year in both the local and national media. Is it warranted? Does everyone need to know how to code? (Disclaimer: Jill believes the answer to both is Yes!) In this talk she’ll explore some of the reasoning behind the push for CS Education, some creative ways CS Ed is being implemented around town, and how you can help the growing effort to bring Computer Science Education to all students.
