AISES and the Kapor Center are working together to provide support for a sequence of culturally revitalizing computer science curriculum to partner schools across the county. We work collaboratively with our school sites to create an engaging computer science curriculum, while also working with teachers and when possible, community members to integrate cultural traditions, language, stories, art and more. It is a tribe-specific computer science curriculum that is built with and for the partner communities.
