Help Shape the Future of Computing Education in Wisconsin

Hello,

We’re excited to invite you to the CSforWI State Summit, a statewide convening of educators, administrators, industry leaders, nonprofit partners, and policymakers working to expand equitable access to computer science education across Wisconsin.

This summit is more than a gathering—it’s a catalyst for systems change. Together, we’ll explore the current landscape, share promising practices, and build actionable strategies to ensure all students have meaningful opportunities to engage with computing and emerging technologies.

Summit Highlights Include:

• Collaborative discussion groups and networking opportunities

• Data-driven insights into Wisconsin’s CS education landscape
• Legislative updates and funding strategies
• Deep dives into the revised state CS/AI plan

• SMART goal setting and working group formation

Whether you’re shaping policy, designing curriculum, supporting educators, or building tech talent pipelines, your voice is essential. We hope you’ll join us in co-creating the future of computing education in Wisconsin.

I assume this is in addition to the CS Summit happening on Nov. 11? Just clarifying.

 I also thought I would share a podcast that I listened to the other day from The Dail that somewhat shared one opinion on the efforts that have been made so far to make CS available to more students nationwide. In response, I think it is so important to remember that "Just as basic biology is necessary for understanding the human body and the world, basic computer science is essential for understanding the technology that permeates our daily lives." But, this would be me preaching to the choir:)

Hi

Yes, the CSTA-WI Dairyand all-day Summit is on Tuesday, November 12, 2025.  This is more oriented toward educators as in classroom teachers, district curriculum specialists, counselors and the like.  There is a cost to attend:  $50 if not a paid CSTA member, discounted to $25 if you are a paid CSTA member.

On November 11, 2025 is CSforWI Summit is an all-day summit focused on statewide CS education policy and initiatives.  The invitees come from a huge swath of stakeholders as indicated in the invitation email.  This is being offered by our ECEP-Wisconsin Team.  ECEP (Expanding Computing Education Pathways <https://ecepalliance.org>) is a national program and we in WI have been awarded a chapter. There is no cost for this summit on November 11, 2025.

These two are quite different but complementary.

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
