How CS Journeys can impact your class

The CS Journeys program is designed around three primary objectives:

  • excite and inspire students to learn CS,
  • encourage students to continue learning by engaging parents and diverse role models,
  • and eventually, empower students to take control of their CS journeys with a variety of resources.

CS Journeys extends what students learn in their classroom computer science curriculum to uncover CS in unexpected places, fueling curiosity and imagination.

In addition to field trips and videos, CS Journeys provides teachers with a collection of resources for students of all ages to help them imagine a journey pursuing CS, from the youngest K-5 students, to older teens who are starting to think about college and beyond. And because parent/guardian encouragement is so important to student success, resources are available to teachers to keep parents engaged in their children’s CS journeys.

For older students, CS Journeys also serves as a hub for resources and information that they can explore on their own. A curated collection of internships, online courses, mentorships, after-school opportunities, and scholarships are available to students exploring what’s next for them.

We’re thrilled to continue this program into the 2022–2023 school year and hope these experiences will excite, encourage, and empower students to continue their CS journey, both in the classroom and beyond.
