Support & Community
At Nextech, our goal is that we empower each teacher across the state with the relevant content, curriculum, context, and community to successfully and confidently teach computer science in their K-12 classroom.
Since often there is a single computer science teacher at a school, it is critical for educators to find and build a community of practice both inside and outside the walls of their school.
Nextech is excited to provide the following initiatives to help create, support, and empower CS educations to build that community and increase capacity of CS educators throughout the state of Indiana.
