Book Studies

Nextech facilitates guided book studies that bring together educators to explore books on CS, AI, and teaching pedagogy. Through shared reading and structured discussion, teachers deepen their understanding, reflect on classroom impact, and connect ideas from the text to practical classroom (and life) strategies.

Nextech is here to help educators make sense of what’s new, what’s useful, and what’s next.

As a trusted, Indiana-based partner, we work with school and district leaders to bring high-quality, standards-aligned computer science education to life—without adding more to their plate.

We’re experts in evolving state requirements and national best practices, and we help educators and teams navigate curriculum shifts and build future-ready programs that integrate AI, data science, and other emerging technologies.

I love interacting (in person) with other computer science teachers in the state of Indiana. This is basically the only opportunity I get to do this. As the only CS teacher in my school, I need more opportunities like this!
