The Philadelphia skyline is sporting a bright promotion of CS Ed Week thanks to the efforts of CSTA Philly founding member, Mary-Angela Papalaskari and Villanova University. The PECO building has a scrolling light crown that often draws attention to worthy events in and around the city.

The PECO website has a page devoted to the crown lights and how to request a message. Mary-Angela submitted the request many weeks ago in preparation for CS Ed Week. PECO informed her in October that the request was approved and would be the crown lights message for the beginning of this week! Here is a 30 second video of the scrolling message that is currently visible all over the city:

This is a great idea if you live or work near a city. Many cities have a building with crown lights, just give yourself plenty of time to negotiate the request process and follow all the rules to get your own message up in lights!
