CS for Good is the 2019 theme.
Let’s celebrate the power of youth like Time’s Person of the year Greta Thunberg. Let’s celebrate the power of computer science by giving all students the tools of digital communication, data science, and building their passion projects. Lets provide time during the school day for students to discuss history and learn about the biology of our best and worst selves.
