What makes attending a conference into an investment? - The outcomes.

When we think about investments, we think about growth. We think about how that initial investment can slowly grow over time.

So why don’t we think about professional learning the same way we think about investing?

When we invest in educators we create ripples of impact throughout a community. Students see futures for themselves they otherwise wouldn’t have seen. And it all starts in a classroom.

At CodeVA, we know that the teacher teaches the tech, not the other way around.

Every hour that a teacher spends learning how to better help their students means hundreds of different, improved outcomes for their classrooms.

Better test scores, better project outcomes, and stronger engagement.
Conference value doesn't end when the conference is over. It grows every time an educator returns to the classroom with greater confidence, stronger strategies, and new ideas to share.

Those returns show up months, sometimes years later. But the investment needs to happen NOW.

The CS Innovators Conference is an investment in the future of your classroom. It’s about leaving with ready-made lesson plans, engaging with hands-on projects, and finding the confidence to teach the technology lessons of tomorrow. Today.

PREREQUISITES
- Participants should have prior experience teaching computer science, STEM, mathematics, technology, engineering, data science, or a related subject area.
- Basic familiarity with programming concepts is recommended.
- Prior Python experience is helpful but not required, provided participants are comfortable learning technical tools during the training.
