Northwestern High School is Participating in Amazon's Future Engineer Program
I am pleased to announce that we have been selected to participate in the Amazon Future Engineer Program that will be offered in the 2019-20 school year in partnership with Amazon and Edhesive. This program allows free access to Introduction to Computer Science (Python) online curriculum and AP Computer Science A (Java) online curriculum. The curriculum includes instructional videos, practice problems and assessments that provide students immediate feedback. Further, Mr. Mitesser will be provided with 40 hours of professional development to run these courses. He will also be participating in an online forum as part of a network offered to students and teachers. Students will also have access to scholarships and internships through Amazon. Mr. Mitesser will pilot the program for the rest of this year in his Introduction to Computer Science class.
This is a no-cost effort to increase Northwestern's STEM offerings. We are very grateful to Mr. Mitesser for leading the way in the area of computer science.
