To shift the perspective of teachers, counsellors, administrators, and policy makers in the educational systems of our provinces and territories so as to encourage formal teaching of computer science in the P-12 grades. In particular, to encourage the growth of Computer Science Teachers Association or CSTA-like organizations throughout all provinces and territories of Canada. The CSTA is a membership organization that provides opportunities for P-12 teachers and students to better understand the computing disciplines and to more successfully prepare themselves to teach and learn. For more information on the CSTA please see http://csta.acm.org/
