Community News

mazon and Rialto Unified School District announced that Amazon is funding computer science education and teacher professional development for 15 elementary schools in the District which will impact more than 7,000 students from underserved communities in

W

technology, as part of its Amazon Future Engineer program.

Amazon is working with BootUp PD, a nonprofit professional development provider, specializing in elementary school education, to bring computer science to each school. BootUp PD’s typically in-person PD sessions adapt well to a virtual model and

provide teachers with the tools they need to bring engaging coding lessons to their students both on-screen and inperson. High-quality computer science education for elementary school students during their school day is a critical piece of Amazon’s “childhood to career” approach because it helps bridge equity skill gaps at an age when stu-

dents are just beginning to formulate ideas about their futures.

“Our District is proud to partner with Amazon Future Engineer and BootUp PD,” stated RUSD Superintendent Dr. Cuauhtémoc Avila. He added, “This is another strong partnership that provides our students options to explore computer sci-

ence through school curriculum and projectbased learning, using code to make music, program robots, and solve problems. Additionally, on behalf of the RUSD Board of Education, we appreciate and thank BootUp PD, Myers Elementary School Principal Alberto Camarena and RUSD, cont. on next pg.
