"Imagine a world where every young mind holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of technology—a world where 'CS for All' isn’t just a dream but a vibrant reality.
This vision, amidst the whirlwind of technological advancement, stands not merely as a catchphrase but as a steadfast commitment to tear down the walls of inequality in education."
