What They Say

Technical careers, whether “white collar” or “blue collar”, have been “the future” for years now. In Georgia, we already have the assets needed to make us one of the top states for computer science talent. CS4GA can help realize this potential, and accelerate progress.

Joey Womack Founder/CEO Amplify 4 Good

Learning programming and computer concepts is very important for every Georgia student. The work CS4Ga is doing is vital in making sure that collaboration and communication between all organizations in Georgia involved in this effort happens effectively. Exciting times, fun times!

Deepa Muralidhar GA Computer Science Teachers Association

It takes the SYNERGY of our collective efforts, thought leadership, reach and influence to bring CS4GA to fruition and ensuring an impact to the greater community.
