This presentation explores how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can support full participation of all learners in K-12 computer science education. As schools expand access to CS, we must move towards meaningful engagement, learning, and belonging for every student. The session will examine how educators can design CS learning experiences that anticipate learner variability, reduce barriers, and create more accessible, flexible, and empowering pathways into computing for students with a wide range of strengths, needs, and identities.
