2025 CS Week Volunteer Registration

Computer Science Education Week is now CS Week with a focus on AI! As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes our world, a deep understanding of computer science fundamentals isn't just an advantage—it's essential. Help inspire the next generation of technology leaders by joining us December 8-12 to volunteer in classrooms. On your shift, you'll help students explore grade-appropriate computational thinking and problem-solving skills. We welcome professionals from all areas of the technology field —you don’t have to be a software engineer to make an impact! We are looking for 80-100 volunteers; please consider signing up for at least one 1-hour shift.
