Goal
School systems often see the value in teaching or promoting software development to students, but many are unequipped to do so. Fortunately, we have a local community of experts as well as a global community of educational resources. Students in the Wichita area deserve to have exposure to software development, regardless of their personal circumstances.
Idea
We are looking for a volunteer Education Liaison to be devICT's point person for the local education community. devICT members are routinely asked for help at various events. It would be great if we had a single point person who could help nurture those relationships.
We don't anticipate hosting events (ourselves) specifically for students; rather, we want to help local educators where needed.
Expectations
- Have a passion for helping students and educators learn about tech
- Experience or knowledge of the education system would be a big plus
- Willing to commit for at least a year -- this isn't a particularly time consuming role, but we also don't want to add confusion to the system by rotating our point person too frequently
