CS Education Week is right around the corner (December 8–14), and BootUp PD has something special in store for K–8 teachers and students! This year’s theme, Innovation in Every Community, celebrates how creativity and code come together to make a difference — from local neighborhoods to the world beyond.
On social media and here on our website we’ll be sharing brand-new K-8 Scratch and Scratch Jr projects designed to help every student see themselves as an innovator, storyteller, and problem-solver. Keep an eye out during CS Ed Week for the project releases and classroom-ready resources!
Be sure to join us for our CS Ed Week 2025 Webinar at 7pm EST on Wednesday, December 10th! Educators will share how they integrate CS into their classrooms and you'll get an opportunity to be introduced to our newest curriculum.

What is Computer Science Education Week?
CS Education Week is a community led event that celebrates and highlights CS education for students of all ages in all communities. CS Ed Week was founded to raise awareness about the need to elevate computer science education at all levels and to underscore the critical role of computing in all careers. CS Ed Week is celebrated each year during the week of Grace Hopper’s birthday (December 9, 1906).
Why is Computer Science Education Week Important?
CS Education Week is an opportunity for parents, educators, and students to embrace and include CS Education in schools and in their every day life. Whether it's attending webinars or including CS Education activities in their routine there are endless ways for everybody to get involved.
