Want to use your CS skills to help change that? It’s time to roll up your sleeves and join hundreds of engineers who volunteer their time and skills to bring CS to high schools nationwide!

> TEALS (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools) is an industry-wide grassroots program started in 2009 with a proven track record that partners hundreds of engineers from more than 300 companies who team teach high school CS and help schools throughout the U.S. build and grow sustainable CS. Volunteers and partner teachers create a ripple effect, impacting the students they teach, and the many students who will study CS in the future with the teacher we train.

We are currently in need of volunteers in the following high schools in the Detroit Area: Cass Technology High School, Western International High School, West Side High School, Summit Academy North (Remote) and Cornerstone Health and Technology. Any help around gaining support for these schools is needed.

Today, most high schools in the US still don’t offer rigorous CS courses and barely 1 percent of college-level advanced placement exams last year were in CS. You can change that. We need volunteer help and are asking you to join a community of hundreds of other engineers and software developers across the industry who are volunteering with TEALS to solve the CS shortage together.

It’s an incredible opportunity to give back and helps make a positive impact in schools and communities across the US. We provide our volunteers with teacher training – so it’s also a great professional development opportunity! You work with a team of volunteers who are partnered with a classroom teacher to team teach Intro or AP computer science in a local high school. Plus, this all happens in the morning – so there is no impact to your work schedule! You teach computer science, help teachers and students, and keep your day job!
