Rising to the Challenge: Offering CS to Every Student, at Every School
Description

Computer science (CS) is a field that extends across all 21st century careers - from art to manufacturing, banking to biology, from agriculture to healthcare. But despite this, only 36% of public high schools offer Montana students an opportunity to take an introductory computer science course. Founded 10 years ago in Seattle, Washington, Code.orgĀ® is one of the largest providers of open-source, K-12 computer science curriculum. Trusted by districts big and small across America, Code.org's suite of courses are endorsed by Common Sense Media, provide both online and "unplugged" lessons, and come with robust professional development support. Learn how you can bring inclusive, high-quality K-12 computer science programs to your students today for little to no cost in this informational session led by AVID Center, Code.org's Regional Training Partner for Montana.
