SCC Participant Feedback

"One of the most important components is really the student voice and choice, which really helps with the authenticity of the students being able to actually pick what they want to do and what they want to focus on all year."

SCC Teacher

"This true ownership, and the opportunity for students to apply the technology in context, really enables some of our students, particularly females, who didn’t consider themselves to be technology users to be empowered to become technology users and creators."

SCC School Principal

"For my IT project this year I decided to focus on self-driving cars. I decided this because they are important, and they are our future. I really like the idea of being able to choose my own topic and not have it chosen for me. This year I changed my view of computer science. I now see it as a very important field that I would like to be a part of."
