Our Community: 

The diversity of New York City is its strength. The CSTA NYC community reflects that diversity in more ways than one. Our members are teachers, policy makers, technologists, researchers, students, and activists. Our members hail from Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx, New Jersey, and Staten Island. And our community serves all the CS learners of NYC. Whatever your experience, skill level, or background, you belong in the CSTA NYC.
