After thousands of conversations with K-12 educators across America, one thing became crystal clear: computer science education doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it.

I've spent six years in the trenches of K-12 CS education, working directly with state administrators, curriculum directors, principals, and teachers. I've seen firsthand how schools struggle with implementing computer science programs – from well-funded urban districts to small rural schools, from private academies to Title I institutions. The challenges are surprisingly similar, and they rarely come down to just funding.

What I've discovered is that most educators feel overwhelmed by computer science. Many administrators are uncomfortable discussing it, teachers feel unsupported teaching it, and students often end up repeating the same basic concepts year after year. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Teaching Computer Science was born from a simple mission: to demystify CS education and help schools build sustainable, effective computer science programs. Through practical guides, real-world insights, and proven strategies, we're helping educators at every level gain the confidence and knowledge they need to give their students a proper foundation in computer science.

Whether you're a state administrator planning curriculum standards, a principal looking to start a CS program, or a teacher preparing for your first coding class – you've found your community. Here, we break down complex topics into actionable steps, share funding strategies that actually work, and provide the support you need to build a CS program that truly serves your students.

Join us in making computer science education accessible, effective, and engaging for all K-12 students. Because in today's world, understanding computer science isn't just about coding – it's about preparing our students for the future they'll help create.
