Searching for more resources and support for bringing computing to elementary students in your school? Let's do it together! In this session, we'll explore how to best leverage the free resources, workshops, and community provided by the Computer Science Teachers Association. Educators share what types of support are available at the local and national level, and how to use them to improve the experiences of teachers and their students. We'll also share some tips and tricks that we learned along the way.
