So many talented kids will never even know what they’re missing, and will be passive

consumers of technology rather than creators of it. This is my one way to put a dent

in those numbers, and to give others the same opportunity I had. That’s why I teach.

The Ripple Effect

According to a 2013 study by Code.org, 90% of

US high schools do not teach computer science.

With software engineers in high demand in the

private sector, schools often cannot find

instructors with a computer science background,

and struggle to compete with the compensation

packages offered in industry.

TEALS helps high schools teach computer

science by providing a team of trained

volunteers to partner with a classroom teacher

and deliver computer science to their students.

Over 2 years, the classroom teacher gradually

takes over the responsibilities of teaching the

course.

TEALS volunteers create a ripple effect,

impacting not just the students they teach,

but the hundreds of students who will study

CS with the teacher they help prepare.

Know any computer science experts? TEALS needs more volunteers!

Do you know a family member, friend or neighbor with a computer science background? If so, please share the information below with them.

TEALS needs volunteers in 20+ states next year. Help us make computer science a reality for other students across the USA!
