[Csmatters] today's meeting notes: Code Advocacy and NICE k12 working group

[Dianne O'Grady-Cunniff]

I don't see much point in uploading up my notes from this afternoon's 2
meetings, they're so short, so here they are.

Everything discussed at the *Code Advocacy group call* is in their
presentation here
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1A3Uqx4NmdPqcXZE5Bs-KKBLWKLLuultbQ5BOYi9hbgM/edit?usp=sharing>
 about what new steps each state is taking. The only additional notes are:


   1. They developed a State planning toolkit for advocacy that is . 6
   states planned in Atlanta. Available
   2. From now on they plan to update State legislative progress on
   code.org/advocacy
   3. The governorsforCS.org site has been updated and there are 7 new
   people and bios for all Montana, ND, ind, hawaii, ala, wyo, PA.
   4.  Hadi did a keynote in November to about 1K attendees who are state
   policy makes that was very well received.
   https://www.excelined.org/national-summit/ There is a video online of
   Hadi’s talk.

*The NICE K-12 working group *had 2 guest speakers talking about career
pathways that was vaguely related to cybersecurity. Nepris.com matches
speakers with classrooms. The Department of labor is making a career
pathways toolkit with a guide and workbook.

Other than that they are looking for volunteers to help plan the 2018
national cybersecurity career awareness week 11/12-17 and the next NICE k12
conference 12/3-4 in San Antonio TX. They said they had 86 speakers there
in 2017.
