Amazon Future Engineer District Partnerships
Amazon Future Engineer partners with non-profit BootUp Professional Development (PD) to bring computer science-specific teacher PD and curriculum to underserved school districts across the country. The program provides everything school districts need to implement a sustainable computer science initiative. This includes, over a three year period, eight onsite (or virtual) professional development workshops, ongoing model teaching and coaching, curricula and teacher lesson plans, and an online Instructional Coach Course to ensure the sustainability of the program. Districts receive BootUp’s project-based curriculum, which uses the free coding platforms Scratch and Scratch Jr. The curriculum remains free in perpetuity.
