Mayor | Montgomery, AL

MGM Codes

Idea Category: Education

Problem

Many public school students are not receiving adequate skills training to compete in the 21st century tech economy.

Solution

The city is partnering with Apple, Montgomery Public Schools and a non-profit organization, Ed Farm, to offer intensive coding curriculum and education to all middle school students and teachers. Students are offered three to six week camps to learn coding concepts, and 20 teachers will begin professional development to earn tech certifications. The partnership is also offering devices to ensure all students have a tablet.
