Member Of The Month




Imagine the world without the tech that is allowing us to function right now? We live in a world that is hyper-connected. There is a vast multitude of careers and possibilities that await both us and our students. The world needs many people to understand Computer Science; what it is, how to use it, and how it influences our daily life. That is the world we now inhabit; meetings can connect individuals across the globe, and allow for visits to the most amazing locations, even space! But not everyone has access to these great opportunities due to how Computer Science Education is currently enacted, both locally and nationally. Thus, equity is the key factor as we consider Computer Science's far reaching impact. Everyone needs to have access to high-quality CS education. Period.

I am both honored and humbled to be elected as the new Chapter President of CSTA Maine. Since CSTA Maine’s inception back in 2016, a group of dynamic educators across Maine have recognized the need and opportunity to bring Computer Science Education to our K-12 schools and post-secondary institutions. These 21st-Century Skills are vital to our students’ education and Maine’s economy.
My predecessors, Dr. Tom Keller and Laura Johns have been guiding forces for CSTA Maine. Both Tom and Laura have been incredibly generous with their time; helping develop member’s leadership skills, serving as our social media director, and as our vice-president. Over the past year, our membership has continued to grow, with new emerging CS leaders continuing to fill out the ranks of CSTA Maine. Our community brings out the best in our membership. Through that combined strength, we continue to develop and deliver high-quality education to our students and add to our skills through a variety of professional development opportunities.
Thanks for reading this post! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just want to say hello.
All the Best,
Sean Wasson
