Dennis's talk
summary
Builds a statewide pipeline to staff K–12 CS: wins NSF funding, co‑chairs 2017 standards, creates the Wisconsin Dairyland CSTA chapter, and runs workshops that train 2400+ elementary teachers reaching 150,000 students and expand CS offerings to 60% of Wisconsin high schools. Documents stubborn limits: only ~2 newly licensed CS teachers produced per year statewide, under 5% of high school students take CS, and the multi‑year effort costs on the order of $10M over 15 years.
