For Computer Science Education Week and #HourOfCode, I want to recognize and thank @cameronpwilson, one of the most important contributors to the CS education movement.

I’ve learned so much from Cameron over the years, and watched as he established a policy agenda that changed laws in all 50 states, and architected a school outreach operation that reached hundreds of school districts and tens of thousands of schools.

One of Cameron’s greatest legacies is the leaders he’s helped grow. For example, @jakebask used to be an outreach manager on Cameron’s team, and Cameron promoted him to manage advocacy, and next encouraged him to apply to run @csteachersorg, where Jake is now Executive Director.

As we celebrate
@csedweek, I have a special story from 2013. When I told Cameron my idea of a grassroots campaign to call on every classroom to teach CS, he responded “what, you mean like an hour of code?” That is how the name#HourOfCode was born.Show this thread -
