Intel Next Generation of Native Coders: Applied Computer Science Principles and Career Readiness Course

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) has partnered with Intel to expand computer science education and career readiness in schools in Arizona, California, and Oregon serving Native American students.

This project aims to increase the number of Native American students in the technology and engineering fields,  in academia and professionally.

The Intel Next Generation of Native Coders project is a continued collaboration between AISES and Intel. AISES is excited to expand the initiative, which started with three schools on the Navajo Nation Reservation, by offering the Applied Computer Science Principles and Career Readiness Course to four additional schools!  This two-semester course combines applied computer science, engineering, and college and career readiness in technology and engineering fields. The course features culturally-contextualized lessons to further engage Native learners. 

The goal of the course is to engage students and prepare them for computer science degrees and careers through:

  • Hands-on independent projects
  • Technical education integrating Native culture 
  • Interactive computer science (CS) skill-building activities 
  • Professional and peer mentorship, and 
  • College, career, and leadership development
