Computer Science Teacher

So I am going to write briefly about the presence of Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft (alphabetical order). Anyone else notice that we never see Apple at CSTA? All of these companies have sessions at their booths and as regular conference sessions to talk about what they offer.

Scientix

ED Surge

If a tree falls on your house, you are shocked because you thought a tree would never fall on your house.
