The Spark Series (formerly known as the Spotlight on Education Series) ignites San Diego educators through world-class, cutting-edge, visionary thinking. It is a venue for site administrators, teacher leaders, central office administrators, university students, professors of education and business leaders to hear insights and perspectives from respected thought leaders in education. The 2017-2018 season of Spark Series kicked off with Ashanti Branch of the Ever Forward Club.

Our Jan. 25th Spark Series event revolved around the pressing topic of increasing equitable access to high quality computer science learning for all students. We will featured a case study from Kevin Wang, founder and ringleader of TEALS (Computer Science in every school) and a panel of experts in the field of access to computer science for all students.

Panelists:

• Kevin Wang - Founder & Ringleader of TEALS K-12
• Cheryl Hibbeln - Executive Director of Secondary Schools, San Diego Unified School District
• David Graham - Deputy COO for the City of San Diego, representative for the City's Smart City Initiative
• Ed Abeyta - Associate Dean for Community Engagement at UCSD Extension, actively involved in this conversation
• Also featuring a high school student who participated in the USD+NSA+NSF's #GenCyber summer camp  

Panel was moderated by Dr. Heather Lattimer, Executive Director of the Jacobs Institute for Innovation in Education
