Officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) joined with former astronaut Bernard Harris and hundreds of educators and school leaders to kick off PDE’s Computer Science for All PA Summit.
During the two-day summit, education professionals will learn innovative approaches for providing students with computer science experiences in classrooms across the commonwealth.
“The Wolf Administration recognizes that STEM and Computer Science are influencing every sector of Pennsylvania's economy with the occupations in highest demand requiring a STEM-ready workforce,” said Judd Pittman, special advisor for STEM to Education Secretary Pedro A. Rivera. “To prepare Pennsylvania's future STEM workforce we need to support our educators and it is through opportunities like the Computer Science for ALL Summit where educators, administrators and counselors can sharpen their skills to provide high-quality STEM and computer science experiences to the Commonwealth’s 1.8 million students.”
A veteran astronaut, Dr. Harris has logged more than 438 hours and traveled over 7.2 million miles in space, and he was the first African American to complete a spacewalk. He currently serves as the chief executive officer of the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), leading the organization’s efforts to improve teacher effectiveness and student achievement in STEM education across the country.
During his keynote, Dr. Harris discussed the childhood dream that led him to NASA and the important role of educators in empowering students to achieve their own dreams. Dr. Harris shared breathtaking photos from his spaceflights and key initiatives led by NMSI to increase access to STEM education.
Since taking office in 2015, Governor Wolf has championed to expand access to computer science and STEM education. This year he introduced PAsmart, a $30 million investment to develop and expand computer science and STEM in pre-K-12 education, to prepare and train educators to teach in computer science, STEM, and to offer job training for adults in computer science.
Governor Wolf is also a member of the Governors’ Partnership for K-12 Computer Science, a bipartisan, multi-state initiative organized by Code.org, to build the commonwealth’s existing commitment to STEM education, where Pennsylvania has been recognized as a national leader.

How would you describe your WSSU experience?
Amazingly interesting. From the people that Iâve met to the different experiences that Iâve had to the situations that Iâve been in and witnessed. But I wouldnât trade this experience for anything.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
Connecting with like minded individuals, meeting new types of people, gaining life long friends, and unforgettable experiences.
Have you engaged in internships, research projects, study abroad, student leadership, community outreach, or other experiences that are enhancing your time at WSSU?
I participated in research during my first two years and summers at WSSU and then I had an internship Nationwide during my third summer. I also experienced student leadership and community outreach through Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. as I was Chapter President for an organization known for its service.
Did you face any obstacles while pursuing your degree?
The biggest obstacle was definitely speaking to people. Iâve never been the most outgoing person, and Iâm still not, but I have come so far from when I first arrived at Winston.
What are your plans after graduation?
Iâm honestly still trying to decide this myself. Iâve had a lot of good opportunities present themselves to me but what Iâm leaning more towards right now is attending graduate school at A&T where Iâve been accepted into the Masters and PhD programs for Computer Science.
Are there any particular faculty, coaches, mentors, or staff that made a difference in your life?
Iâve had a lot who have definitely impacted me whether they know it or not. Of course my department chair, Dr. Elva Jones. The first professor I connected with and fraternity brother, Dr. Frederick Roundtree. My research mentor, Dr. Mustafa Atay. One of my favorite professors, someone I can always come talk to, and soror, Dr. Rebecca Caldwell. And of course, I could never forget the Honors Programâs heart and soul, Ms. Carolyn Thomas. Outside of WSSU, my mentor and fraternity brother, Mr. Reginald McCaskill. All of these people had an incredible impact on my life as well as some of my biggest decisions, opportunities, and accomplishments.
