Meet Our Washington State CSTA Fellows

We’re thrilled to highlight the achievements of our Washington educators in the CSTA IMPACT and Responsible AI Fellows programs:



● IMPACT Fellows: Congratulations to our very own CSTA WA member Anthony Barba, a 9-12 STEM Teacher at East Valley High School (Moxee, WA)! This prestigious, year-long leadership program recognizes educators who are making a measurable impact on CS education. Fellows design and implement projects that promote equity, access, and engagement in CS for all students. Meet the 2025–26 cohort and learn how you can nominate yourself or a colleague for next year’s program.

● Responsible AI Fellows: Congratulations to our very own Denise Thompson, a 9-12 CTE and CS Teacher at Orting High School (Lakewood, WA). The inaugural Responsible AI Fellowship brings together educators committed to teaching ethical, inclusive, and transformative approaches to AI. Fellows receive leadership training and collaborate on projects that advance responsible AI education.
