From MACUL - Partnership with Wonder Workshop
From MACUL - this opportunity is open to MACUL members:
According to the Bureau of Labor & Statistics, in 2018 the U.S. is expected to produce only 29% of the required number of graduates to fill the 1.4 million U.S. computer specialty job openings that are forecast. Future jobs outside of computer science are also going to require computational and problem-solving skills that are developed when kids learn to code.
That’s why we’re excited to partner with Wonder Workshop to bring their Teach Wonder Professional Learning Program to MACUL members at a deep discount. (SCECHs are pending.)
To take advantage of our program pricing you must first:
- Fill out the redemption code form,
