CS Education
Computer science is becoming foundational to nearly every career and industry. Nextech is working to ensure every Indiana student has access to high-quality computer science education, no matter their school or zip code. By supporting teachers with training, curriculum, and real-world resources, we help classrooms across the state bring computer science to life and give students the problem-solving, collaboration, and digital skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving economy.
Work-Based Learning
Learning about technology is powerful, but experiencing it firsthand is transformative. Nextech connects Indiana students with real-world opportunities to explore technology careers through internships, industry projects, mentorship, and career exploration. These experiences help students build confidence, understand the possibilities ahead of them, and see how their skills translate beyond the classroom. As Indiana’s new graduation requirements place greater emphasis on real-world and career-connected learning, Nextech helps schools and employers create meaningful pathways that allow students to gain experience while strengthening the state’s future tech workforce.
AI Literacy
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we work, learn, and make decisions. Nextech is helping Indiana educators and school districts understand not only how AI works, but how to thoughtfully and responsibly integrate it into teaching and learning. Through professional development, practical resources, and guidance on emerging tools, we support teachers in navigating this rapidly evolving technology with confidence. By building AI literacy in classrooms today, we help ensure Indiana students develop the awareness, critical thinking, and skills they will need to succeed in a future where AI touches nearly every industry and career.
