If you’re an engineer, software developer or programmer, and are interested in helping young people learn computer science, high schools need your expertise. You can be part of TEALS (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools), a volunteer movement supported by Microsoft to bring computer science education to every high school in the U.S.
More than 475 TEALS volunteers across the nation are currently team-teaching Computer Science 101 and AP Computer Science with classroom teachers in more than 130 schools.
“The only way to jumpstart computer science programs in high schools is with more volunteers,” says TEALS founder Kevin Wang, in a post on Microsoft on the Issues. “No matter where you work, if you have a CS background and you’re willing to wake up a little earlier than you’re used to, students around the country can use your help. Volunteering for TEALS is a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience. More important, it’s a meaningful investment on behalf of future computer scientists.”
Applications will be accepted until May 1. Find out more about how to volunteer with TEALS, by visiting http://www.tealsk12.org/volunteers/informational/.
