#IAmCS Student Leaders

#IAmCS Student Leaders are North Carolina high school students interested impacting their communities by promoting computer science education through local-scale projects.

Two Student Leaders from each of the eight North Carolina regions will be selected for the 2024-2025 cycle to lead their own projects that focus on promoting computer science or related topics. Selected Student Leaders will receive grant funds to support implementation of their project.

All Student Leaders are expected to attend an in-person leadership training in Spring 2025 to gain valuable leadership skills, receive personalized project feedback, and network with other Student Leaders.

Interested students must submit a  #IAmCS Student Leader Application by Sunday, October 13, 2024.
