Tonya Coats on Equity in Computer Science Education
In this inspiring interview, Tonya Coats, Project Specialist for Digital Learning and Computer Science, shares how early, hands-on exposure to coding can transform students’ futures, especially in underserved communities.
"When students see themselves actually making change, it gives them a sense of pride and the ability to see themselves as future computer scientists and engineers."
From Oregon Trail to championing real-world CS learning with tools like micro:bit and 3D printers, Tonya’s story shows how equitable EdTech empowers students to lead, create, and thrive.
Will we see you at an upcoming event?
We won't have a booth at ISTE Live, but our products will be on display at a number of partner booths. Reply and let us know if you'll be in San Antonio from June 29 - July 2 for ISTE Live.
Last year was a TON of fun and we can't wait to do it again in Cleveland for the CSTA conference from July 8 - 11. We've got some new product launches and other exciting things up our sleeve.
Onward,
The Forward Education Team
