Hello everyone, The website to match volunteer speakers to local schools I mentioned in my last message, below, will go live the week before Computer Science Education Week (week of November 29th). However, if you would like to register your interest now, please sign the CS ED Week pledge and indicate that you would like to participate as a speaker for local schools.
