The two teachers, Betsy and Chinma, have been working together to create a course curriculum that will be implemented in their high school classrooms. Our goal is to expose high students (i.e. CS zero students) to Computer Science using App Inventor.

We hope that this curriculum will become the catalyst that spurs students to attend college and major in Computer Science.
