About Us

Your local CS Community

CSTA New Jersey was established in 2019 as the computer science community for New Jersey. Previously, there were four chapters serving the state.  By combining, we seek to streamline communications with various stakeholders in the state.  We still offer regional meetings.  Feel free to contact any of the executive officers below for more information.

Book of the Meeting

Introducing our Book Study!

The Computer Always Wins!
by Author Elliot Lichtman


An engaging and approachable resource for beginning-to-intermediate
coders eager to learn advanced ideas in computer programming.
In The Computer Always Wins, Elliot Lichtman will teach you some of
computer science’s most powerful concepts in a refreshingly accessible
way: exploring them through word games, board games, and strategy
games you already know. Learn recursion by playing tic-tac-toe, efficient
search through puzzle games like sudoku and Wordle, and machine
learning by way of the playground classic rock-paper-scissors. Finish the
book, and you’ll come away with not only a deeper understanding of these
foundational programming techniques but also a new appreciation for the
amazing feats that can be accomplished using simple, readable code. Fill
out the form if you are interested in participating!
