Slides
CSTA 2025 Conference Slides Resource Library
We’ll explore policy structures and strategies to expand access, using resources such as State of CS data and current research. Educators will work with real-world data to draft briefings on key topics like funding, outreach, teacher training, and course pathways. Through the Legislation Builder Activity, participants will design actionable policies and create concise elevator pitches for policymakers. The session also covers how to engage local partners and build advocacy networks. Presented by: Rudy Escobar and Todd Lash
