We are elated to announce that has been selected to receive funding from Amazon.com to bring computer science education and teacher professional development to 11 elementary schools serving more than 5,700 students in need, with the opportunity to expand in the coming years. Of the 11 schools, all are Title I schools, which serve students who often come from low-income families or otherwise would not have access to computer science education:

Hawkins Mill Elementary
Gardenview Elementary School
Shelby Oaks Elementary
William H. Brewster Elementary
Cromwell Elementary
South Park Elementary
John P. Freeman Optional School
Snowden School
Delano Elementary
Parkway Village Elementary - SCS
Wells Station Elementary

Amazon is working with BootUp, a nonprofit professional development provider specializing in elementary school education, to bring computer science to each school as part of its Amazon Future Engineer program. WE cannot thank Amazon and BootUP enough for giving our teachers and students this wonderful experience!

“When introducing any new learning modules, equity must always be paramount to the implementation process, and we are proud to partner with the Amazon Future Engineer program team to offer our young scholars such a unique opportunity,” said SCS Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray.
