"This program has helped me to develop a greater desire to learn more about computer science. I find myself telling children and parents about CS and the importance of learning it. Even if it’s not a chosen career path, I think everyone should have some exposure to CS."

Intro to Programming participant, Summer 2020

"I learned so much from this program! It really gave me a lot of insight into what CS is like. It just opened my eyes so much to the world of programming and I can't wait to learn more, get certified, and spread all the info I learn along with way with my students."
