Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students are in need of foundational knowledge and skills in order to become proficient programmers, data scientists, and security specialists. These are all things we need badly in our world today, but to become any one of these you must first be a problem solver!

Problem-solving is an essential skill that helps everyone, not just programmers and network specialists.

Even students who do not decide to remain in the field of Computer Science will be aided by the lessons they learn in problem-solving bootcamp, such as algorithmic thinking and computational design.

We will be using these tools to create an underlying theme of problem solving throughout our CS pathway curriculum, especially for our first year students. Instead of dry, rote material about the basics of computing, we will create an engaging, interactive foundation of curriculum dedicated to problem solving and algorithmic thinking.
