One of our biggest goals is to increase the accessibility of a computer science education. As a result, our program is free to charge to participants, and we depend on sponsors to keep CS Kickstart possible. Without our sponsors, there would be no way we would be able to host so many students and provide an experience that will positively impact their pursuit of computer science, completely free of charge to eliminate any possible barriers.

FAQs
We accept donations year round. Please email cskickstart@gmail.com indicating your interest in a sponsorship package. However, in order to be featured on the program website and T-shirts, a donation should be sent by no later than May 10, 2019.
The industry panel will take place during the week of CS Kickstart. It will take place mid-August during our program. As the date nears, we will release further information about event logistics.
Ideally, we’d like our panelists to share what led them to the computer science field and to their particular position in the company they represent. Professional tips, life advice, and career interests are topics that are also encouraged. The CS Kickstart organizers will prepare questions about your professional and personal experiences and then the panel will be open to questions from student participants.
For any additional questions, please contact cskickstart@gmail.com. Thank you!
