Come participate in CSTA NJ's first book swap! Participants can come bring 1 to 3 books and participate in a book swap. There will be categories for the different tables including the grade levels and professional learning.

The CSTANJ Book Swap is an exciting opportunity for educators to connect, collaborate, and expand their classroom libraries while exploring the important role literacy plays in Computer Science and STEM education. Participants are invited to bring one to three books to exchange with fellow educators in a welcoming, community-focused environment. Organized tables by grade level and professional learning topics will help attendees discover new resources that support computational thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and cross-curricular learning in engaging and accessible ways.


This session highlights how literacy can strengthen CS and STEM instruction by using books to introduce complex concepts, spark curiosity, support diverse learners, and encourage meaningful classroom discussions. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore picture books, nonfiction texts, professional resources, and instructional materials that can be integrated into coding lessons, engineering challenges, maker activities, and technology instruction. The session will also encourage conversations around inclusive teaching practices, literacy integration, and strategies for making STEM learning more approachable for all students.


In addition to participating in the book swap, educators will leave with new instructional ideas, expanded professional connections, and inspiration for integrating literacy-rich experiences into their CS and STEM classrooms. Whether participants are classroom teachers, librarians, technology teachers, STEM educators, or instructional coaches, this collaborative session will provide practical resources and fresh ideas that support both student engagement and professional growth.
