The 2017-18 school year is underway and what makes this year so exciting for the WeTeach_CS team is knowing that there so many teachers with brand new CS certifications stepping up to promote CS for All in classrooms across Texas. This also means that there are probably a lot of teachers out there who have questions or need advice about teaching CS, starting an after school program, or coaching their UIL team to the top. That’s where Ask John comes in!
