We should offer “...every student the hands-on computer science and math classes that make them job-ready on day one…” President Obama’s State of the Union Speech, January 13, 2016

You are invited to hear about, celebrate and help accelerate the great work going on to bring Computer Science education to every Chicago Public School Student.

Did you know that a lot of the national momentum around computer science education began right here in Chicago? We are the first "Computer Science for All" initiative, imitated by places like New York and San Francisco. And just this past week, our President, Barack Obama, launched a national initiative with the same name and goals: to offer CS education to every student, from kindergarten to 12th grade!

Come to our soirée, experience interactive demos, learn how CPS has been a national model and inspiration in computer science education, including Mayor Emanuel's CS4ALL plan and the new Illinois teacher certification pathway for Computer Science. Come find out how you too can help us accelerate computer science education in Chicago.

Join us at Google’s new Chicago offices, 320 N. Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607:

Demos and hors d'oeuvres at 5;
Presentation at 6.
