About Us
WHO ARE WE?
CSTA Nebraska Huskers was established as your local computer science community. This chapter was built to connect you with other computer science teachers, provide professional development to help you improve your craft, and connect your local voice to the national computer science education community.
Our goal as an organization is to support computer science educators throughout Nebraska and facilitate community involvement in the learning and teaching of computer science.
