Due to the Covid19 pandemic, the landscape of our planet has suddenly changed. As a result, many things we have looked to as normal will look different far into the future. Drastic measures and sacrifices have been made by every american. These actions have been difficult but impactful. Everyone is doing their part to get through this disaster and Tech Changers is here to do our part to support the Howard County community through programming designed to provide opportunities to connect, explore and create.
We are still here, innovating and adapting. We are exploring ways to continue our mission. We will continue to offer engaging, standards based learning opportunities through programs and community outreach. Our programs are lead by caring industry experts and educators. We strive to bring students from different backgrounds and experiences together to create, explore and connect.
We are now ready to go online via Zoom to offer new programs that support Howard County CS for All. We look forward to providing opportunities to all students to learn, create and connect via their passion for Computer Science and STEM.
