New York State recently adopted Computer Science & Digital Fluency Learning objectives for K-12 students. For the first time, our state has defined and set an expectation for all school's to teach some Computer Science to all students. This session will be an opportunity to learn what "Computer Science & Digital Fluency" means for young students, to consider impacts this might have on the future workforce, and collaborate on ways that industry professionals (with minimal effort) can provide pivotal support to schools.
