Hosted by the Rutgers University Center for Effective School Practices & Department of Computer Science
With funding from the Rutgers EIR: Extending the CS Pipeline project, the Center for Effective School Practices and the Department of Computer Science partnered together to host the 7th semi-annual Rutgers University Computer Science Summit. The summit offered an opportunity for over 200 K-12 teachers and administrators, faculty from 2- and 4-year institutes of higher education, industry partners and curriculum developers and other CS education advocates to engage in meaningful conversations and learning opportunities.
This year, the Summit offered, in addition to professional learning in to core CSE concepts (teaching and learning, instructional practices, and strategies to broaden participation in computing, among others), many opportunites to explore emerging topics, such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The program also featured robust discussions of statewide issues, with representatives from the NJDOE sharing updates on certifications, standards, professional development, and strategic plans.
The 2024 Keynote speakers were Natasha Singer, a technology reporter at The New York Times and Michael Geraghty, NJ’s Chief Information Security Officer and Director of the NJ Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell. The full program agenda, session descriptions, speaker information, and resources shared by presenters are available freely on the summit's webpage.
