The Fund for the City of New York proposes to host a meeting for thought leaders in the computer science (CS) education community in order to identify core characteristics of a new CS community organization or hub that could serve to coordinate and accelerate the impact of the many organizations responding to the national Computer Science For All initiative. The meeting comes at a critical time in CS education: there is a building momentum, and CS is increasingly recognized as a basic skill in a student?s education. A number of states and school districts--including Arkansas, Rhode Island, Utah, Broward Country, New York City, and San Francisco--have announced that CS will be offered in all of their K-12. Chicago has gone even further, requiring a year of Computer Science for high school graduation. Many nonprofits have joined the effort, including most notably Code.org, but also the Computer Science Teachers Association, NCWIT (National Center for Women and Information Technology) CSNYC, MassCAN (Massachusetts Computer Alliance Network), and the Expanding Computer Science Pathways (ECEP) Alliance). This meeting aims to contribute to the design of an organization that facilitate the coordination, cooperation, and amplification of all of these stakeholders.At the one-day meeting, participants will consider, explore, and interrogate a variety of elements relating to this proposed central entity, including its role, key functions, governance, and membership. More specifically, the day will consist of a series of Collective Impact-type activities that will support attendees in envisioning the long-term goals of CS learning, what will be needed to achieve those goals, and the role that a possible hub entity might play in those efforts. The outcomes of the meeting will be synthesized, and sent to all participants. After that, it is expected that the proposed organization will be further refined in conference calls. This effort will bring together a diverse range of federal and private organizations who are already leading important work to bring CS to our students, with the goal of amplifying and increasing their impact and success.

纽约市基金会提议为计算机科学（CS）教育界的思想领袖举办一次会议，以确定新的CS社区组织或中心的核心特征，这些组织或中心可以协调和加速响应国家全民计算机科学倡议的许多组织的影响。这次会议召开之际，计算机科学教育正处于关键时刻：势头强劲，计算机科学越来越被视为学生的基本技能？的教育。包括阿肯色州、罗得岛、犹他州、布劳沃德县、纽约市和旧金山弗朗西斯科在内的一些州和学区已经宣布，CS将在所有的K-12学校提供。芝加哥甚至走得更远，要求高中毕业时要修读一年的计算机科学。 许多非营利组织都加入了这一努力，其中最著名的包括Code.org，但也有计算机科学教师协会，NCWIT（国家妇女和信息技术中心）CSNYC，MassCAN（马萨诸塞州计算机联盟网络）和扩展计算机科学途径（ECEP）联盟）。本次会议旨在为设计一个促进所有利益相关者协调、合作和扩大的组织做出贡献。在为期一天的会议上，与会者将审议、探讨和询问与拟议的中央实体有关的各种要素，包括其作用、关键职能、治理和成员资格。更具体地说，这一天将包括一系列集体影响型活动，这些活动将支持与会者设想CS学习的长期目标，实现这些目标需要什么，以及可能的中心实体在这些努力中可能发挥的作用。会议的成果将加以综合，并发送给所有与会者。之后，预计将在电话会议上进一步完善拟议的组织结构。这一努力将汇集各种各样的联邦和私人组织谁已经领先的重要工作，把CS给我们的学生，放大和增加他们的影响和成功的目标。
