Hi <<First Name>>,

Today is #GivingTuesday, an opportunity for people around the world to come together to give back in all forms – acts of kindness, gifts of time, talent, or treasure! We hope you will join us this #GivingTuesday in our work to ensure ALL K-12 students have access to high-quality computer science learning experiences.

When you support TECH CORPS, you’re opening doors for students of all ethnicities, races, genders and zip codes to access technology training they may not get anywhere else! Check out this short video from two students who participated in our Student WEB CORPS program this summer, then click on the “Give Now” button to ensure more students like Alejandro and Lucas have access to TECH CORPS programs.

Computer Science Education Week (#CSEdWeek) is an annual call to action to inspire K-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for equity and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers and partners to the field. This year, TECH CORPS, Hyland and the Teaching & Learning Collaborative will support more than 5,000 3rd and 4th graders in TEN states.

The students will engage in computer science lessons that focus on computational and algebraic thinking using a fun cookie design scenario which teaches students the basics of coding.

Tuesday, December 7

Join us at 12pm EST on Tuesday, December 7th for a Lunch & Learn on Facebook (@techcorpsUS). Representatives from Hyland Software, Inc. and TECH CORPS will discuss their technology education partnership. They will share insights about how developing a meaningful strategy can impact students and corporations!

Wednesday, December 8

The winning teams from our November 6, 2021 hackathons in Akron, Columbus and Zanesville will be recognized at the Ohio Statehouse during #CSEdWeek. Students will meet their state representatives and receive proclamations for their achievements.
