It's AP exam prep season! We're holding a special drawing and randomly choosing a few schools that subscribe to our AP CS A curriculum to receive free live AP CS A exam prep for students. Our CS experts will lead students through this in-depth prep session on a Saturday in April. Schools that have purchased the WeTeach_AP curriculum for the current school year are automatically entered into the drawing. If your school is not currently signed up for WeTeach_AP, purchase our fantastic AP CS A curriculum by March 1st for the 2021-2022 school year and we'll also add you into the drawing.
UPCOMING CYBERSECURITY WEBINAR SESSIONS
Our Cybersecurity Webinar Series continues tomorrow night with a session on Cloud Security. Even if you have missed the previous sessions, feel free to register and join us! It's the perfect way to become more acquainted with cybersecurity concepts so that you can better introduce them to your middle and high school students. While Cloud Security specifically isn't covered in the current Cybersecurity TEKS, it is a component in the industry-recognized CompTIA Security+ certification exam.
Also, you can view our list of upcoming webinars and all recordings of our past webinars from this series here.
