CAL-MSCS Computer Science Models of Practice Summit
Friday June 20, 2025 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Family and community engagement within our schools and communities opens the door to broader levels of success for ALL students. Join the UCLA Computer Science Equity Project team and presentation partners to learn more about Plugging into Power: Family and Community Engagement for Equitable CS Education research. Through this research the team has developed a toolkit to help grow the capacity of community-based organizations in California serving parents, students, and low-income families of color to advocate for equity in computer science education.

Join the team for an engaging workshop on the newly designed Computer Science Parent Toolkit—a powerful resource to help parents understand, engage, and advocate for computer science education in their communities. Discover strategies to build a strong network of parent leaders who can lead equitable access to CS education and drive meaningful change. Don't miss this opportunity to empower families and strengthen advocacy efforts!
