About CSTA

Our Vision: Every student is prepared for a world powered by computing

The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) understands that teaching computer science is hard. That’s why our dedicated team and teacher-led Board of Directors focus on creating a strong environment to support K–12 educators.

Our vision is to ensure that every student is prepared for a world powered by computing. The path to this goal requires a united community of supported and empowered educators delivering high quality, accessible, and inclusive computer science education for their students. To support this vision, CSTA is focused on:

  • Creating a thriving community that fosters continuous growth, belonging, and connection among CS educators.
  • Equipping educators with the CS teaching and learning resources they need to elevate their practice. 
  • Deepening and expanding leadership for CS educators. 
  • Advocating for our vision and mission at the local, state, and national levels, and
  • Collaborating to realize our vision.
