2025 Hawaiʻi CS PD Summit

We have been working hard. And hopefully we've been working hard at the right things, the things that increase confidence in our students who are curious about and want to pursue computer science as a career path. As programs are developed and implemented, we should continuously ask ourselves if our students feel that they belong in computer science and if they are feeling confident. And because we know that teachers are important role models, we should concurrently ask ourselves if our teachers feel they belong and if they feel confident. Even if not in computer science, we as teachers are instrumental in encouraging and guiding students in their education and career aspirations.
