WINforCS is the Washington Integration Network for Computer Science. We’re a network of educators from across the state who come together three times a year with the following goals:

• Create leaders who can help to promote equitable integration of computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) concepts and activities, especially for underserved populations.
• Keep educators apprised of the big picture of computer science education in Washington State.
• Help educators understand how and why to use integrated CS/CT activities to enhance all curriculum areas, teach 21st century skills, and expose students to essential concepts.
• Join a professional learning community that shares fun and exciting activities, resources, and tools for use in classrooms.
