Elaine G.

Elaine has been teaching math and computer science since 2006, changing careers from biotechnology as a data analyst. Concerned about the pathway to AP CS A, which was all that was being offered Elaine developed a pathway for her school including ECS, robotics, AP CSP-Mobile, AP CS A and cybersecurity. She is particularly proud of advising after school clubs, developing student leaders in two International competitions: BotBall for 17 consecutive years and Technovation since the founding year. She would like to be in the high school classroom for the next 5 years while staying up to date with Computer Science, learning to teach cyber security, AI topics and e-textiles as well as other physical computing. Elaine has founded a non-profit 501C3 organization called CS4Youth to expand programs that are inclusive for students that still might not be able to access CS education and for students to add to their CS education locally.
