One of our big incentives this year to help promote completion of the Deployment Requirements was a Meet & Greet with Mexican National Soccer Team members, Ismael Valdez, Alejandro Garcia, Edgar Gonzalez, and Jesus Zavala. They came in and shared with the students who met the requirements by the initial deadline! They were so motivating for our students!
We used our library this year as our primary deployment space and rollout was done in multiple phases.

In the fall semester we have begun the process of rebuilding our STT and have found a great group of scholars eager and ready to get going in the Spring! Our Lab Mentor assisted with recruiting students in 6th and 7th grade, with the anticipation of adding some 8th graders soon. The first even the STT got to help with was Lunch & Code event during HISD's 12 Days of Code! These scholars came and led the way, bringing peers along to get a taste of coding. They had a blast!
