From 2014-2017, The Tech Academies program selected schools and expanded learning programs through a competitive application process to engage in a three-year partnership and over 100 hours of professional development supporting the integration of engineering and computer science across the curricula. In 2019 we launched our District Fellowship program, welcoming our first cohort of 40 educators selected by their districts and expanded learning programs to participate in a two-year fellowship with The Tech and San José State University. Each Fellow participates in over 90 hours of professional development supporting the integration of engineering and computer science across the curricula.
