At a time when computing continues to gain importance in society, it is more crucial than ever to ensure that computer science (CS) education meets the needs of all students. To this end, the Reimagining CS Pathways: High School and Beyond project developed community definitions of: (1) CS content that is essential for all high school graduates to know, and (2) example pathways for continued study of CS beyond that foundational content. To achieve community consensus, the project drew on the expertise and experiences of over 100 diverse representatives across K-12 education, postsecondary education, and industry who participated in focus groups, interviews, in-person convenings, and asynchronous feedback sessions. Woven throughout this work is a commitment to improving equity in CS education, which is embedded throughout both the process and the outcome of the project. It manifests in an effort to reimagine CS to ensure opportunities for all students and to prepare them for a world increasingly powered by computing.

In this affiliated event, we share the result of this extensive Reimagining CS effort. We will present key outcomes and recommendations from our final report, and we will also facilitate two collaborative, replicable activities to engage participants with the foundational content and pathways for continued CS learning.
