#CSEdWeek continues! #CodeNation Chief Product & Programming Officer, Dominick Sanders, has multiple CS Heroes to reflect on this year. Dominick's time at Jackson State University proved formative, and introduced him to a collective group that set him on his career path and personal journey.

#CSEdWeek is an annual call to action to inspire K-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for their equity, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners in the field. This year’s CS Ed Week theme is #CSHeroes – so we asked two of our leaders about their own journeys and the heroes that inspired them! First up, we're sharing our CEO, Ron Summers' story!
