Wind River High School students Baylee Shoopman (left) and Josh Lacock work with arduinos in James Cunningham’s computer science class. An arduino is a small computer that has inputs and outputs. Cunningham was one of 24 Wyoming K-8 teachers or librarians who participated in the first cohort of the WySLICE program, designed to integrate computer science teaching into their classes by the 2022-23 school year, per a mandate by the Wyoming Legislature.

Some Wyoming K-8 teachers and librarians already have a leg up in preparation for offering computer science education in their schools come fall 2022, when it will be required. And they have the Wyoming Hub for Computer Science Outreach at the University of Wyoming to thank.
