WeTeach_CS Summit 2026 has ended
Tuesday June 16, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm CDT
Building a thriving computer science program takes more than qualified educators, curriculum, and professional development.... it takes funding. Join a dynamic panel of industry partners, nonprofit leaders, and Texas educators who have successfully secured grants, sponsorships, and resources for K-12 computer science programs. Panelists will share real-world strategies for identifying funding opportunities, cultivating community partnerships, and navigating application processes. Whether you're launching a new program or looking to expand existing efforts, you'll leave with actionable steps and valuable connections. Don't let budget barriers stand between your students and a future in computing. Come ready to learn and network!
