Ed Farm is raising awareness in the community around the importance of computer science (CS) education by participating in Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek). This annual call to action focuses on inspiring K-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for equity in computer science education and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers and partners to the field.
This year, CSEdWeek is taking place around the world Dec. 7-12, and Ed Farm is inviting everyone to celebrate the week and learn together. The week has been jammed with virtual coding pop-ups, Code Alongs, computer science resources and a celebration. The coding pop-up celebration is Saturday, Dec. 12 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom to learn foundational coding skills and get involved with computer science using Swift.

Technology is the way of the world, transforming every industry globally, yet, 10 years ago fewer than half of all schools emphasized teaching computer science. Many teachers do not even know where to begin, as computer science is not a leading subject in their daily curriculums.
