This is a big year for computer science in South Carolina with the new list of computer science courses to fulfill the graduation requirement (see page 128) going into effect for all students across the state. If you have any questions as you navigate the changes, please don't hesitate to reach out to your CSTA South Carolina board.
It's been a busy summer with many of you attending a variety of events including SC's Education and Business Summit, the SCDE CS Symposium, Code.org PD, CROCs ECS & UTeach PD and the 2019 CSTA Annual Conference. I hope you returned to the school year with a wealth of resources to leap into teaching CS this year!
We are looking forward to this upcoming year for CSTA South Carolina and we hope to see you at the CSTA Day on September 28th!
We’re celebrating at the 20th anniversary of the CSTA Annual Conference and you’re the first to be invited to the party. We’re excited to add an extra day of conference programming, while continuing to keep the price low for K–12 teachers. Join us for CSTA 2020, set for July 11–15, in Arlington, Virginia!
Secure your CSTA 2020 spot at the lowest possible price!
Registration for CSTA 2020 is underway! CSTA’s conference committee and staff has been working hard behind the scenes to make sure our 20th Annual Conference is the best yet!
Scholarship Application Now Open: Thanks to the generous support of our partners, we are able to offer financial support to cover the conference registration fee, three nights in a hotel, and/or airfare, train, or mileage reimbursement for as many teachers as the funding will cover.

Nifty Assignments: Do you have a fun lesson or project you’ve tried out this year? The call for proposals for Nifty Assignments is now open. Submissions will be accepted until March 1, 2020. Check out past Nifty’s to get new ideas for your classroom.
Earlier this year, CSTA and ISTE launched an initiative to revise CS Educator Standards. In June, we opened Draft 1 of these standards for review and public comment. We’ve reviewed your feedback and are now ready to share the next draft with you.
Your input as a CS educator is important to us! Learn more about how you can review Draft 2 of the new standards and provide your feedback.
