"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller
Making real world connections to computer science for our students is so important! We want our students to start thinking about possible careers and preparing them for jobs that don't even exist yet! We are so grateful for our growing group of community partners! They have all shared their time and talents with us. Please check them out below!
We also have amazing support from our Richardson Parent Teacher Organization and Lincoln Parent Teacher Group. Both have raised funds through school functions or grants to build our STEAM Labs and to furnish them. The support of these two organizations has made a huge impact on space and supplies for computer science and STEAM!
