Sign Up Below!

MV GATE is now working with the White House in support of the Administration’s Computer Science for All initiative. April 13 the White House announced our commitment to provide a free Event Kit to elementary schools that want to put on their own Family Code Night. This terrific evening event, based on superb online curriculum from Code.org, MIT and Google's Made with Code, can be put on by any elementary school. It’s so novel and fun it's been featured on the front page of the New York Times and most recently on the White House website.
 
Our free Event Kit will help any elementary school hold its own Family Code Night for its school community. Sign up below for events this fall, especially as part of your school's recognition of National Computer Science Education Week Dec 6-11, 2016.  The Kit includes all you need: invitations, presenter’s script, posters, facilities checklist, and more.
