-
IDENTIFY key CS education stakeholders throughout Illinois, including those not in attendance at this summit.

-
SUPPORT WORKING GROUPS by providing feedback on the State Action Plan on Computer Science Education as we seek to identify and address CS education needs and priorities for Illinois.

ECEP Illinois research partners from The Institute for Advancing Computing Education will present progress on a new Illinois landscape report. Our friends at IWERC will share current data and findings related to the State of CS education in Illinois to help drive the day’s discussions. Finally, we will share a new project related to the history of CS education in Illinois and ask participants to contribute as we celebrate past accomplishments and look toward the future.
