On Business as Usual, we will welcome Casey Mindlin, Executive Director of the STEM Coding Lab, to overview the lab's mission to provide children in underserved communities with access to computer science education to better prepare them to compete in a digital world.
STEM Coding Lab is the only Pittsburgh nonprofit devoted exclusively to bringing computer science education into under-resourced schools throughout our region.
The lab believes that early classroom introduction of core computer science concepts will help shrink income disparities that persist throughout our region and prepare all our youth for the future of work.
The work of STEM Coding Lab is designed to activate the next generation of digitally literate professionals. Working in both in-school and after-school settings, the lab strives to expose students learning in underfunded communities to computer science lessons that will prepare them for the 21st Century.
