Abstract

The CS 10K project is an ambitious initiative to transform computing education in the United States; its success is critical to the country's ability to innovate and compete. The computing community has an unprecedented opportunity to affect K-12 education with its enthusiasm and experience, together with its best ideas on curriculum, pedagogy, and ways to engage a broader, more diverse group of students. This community will be able to showcase the potential and promise of computing and it will have the opportunity to inspire and be inspired by local teachers and students.
