Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek) – an annual event dedicated to inspiring PreK-12 students to get excited about computer science – is taking place this week, and members of the PLTW Network have been sharing their excitement on social media.
Check out our rundown of how the PLTW Network is celebrating this year:

This week is Computer Science Education Week and all week long we’ll be sharing stories from our Engineering Program. At SMA, we’re not just preparing our girls for college; we’re preparing them for a career with @PLTWorg curriculum that includes computer science. #CSEdWeek pic.twitter.com/1jACZoZwTy

Today, a news crew from Bay News 9 in Tampa came to my classroom to do a story about coding in the classroom and Computer Science Week/Hour of Code. My students were great and I can't wait for the Tampa Bay area to meet them! #PLTW #CSEdWeek @CitrusSchools @CHSCanes #onehurricane
