Join Us: Virtual Pathfinders Summer Institute 2023
by Infosys Foundation USA | March 16, 2023
Since 2018, the Infosys Foundation USA has hosted Pathfinders Summer and Winter Institutes both in-person and online, reaching thousands of educators. Another opportunity is available now to join this dynamic Pathfinders Alumni network!
We are pleased to announce that the Pathfinders Summer Institute 2023 will offer 20 virtual PD courses between June – August. These PDs will be led by computer science and maker education curriculum providers whose content aligns with K-12 standards and whose approach is fun, hands-on and dynamic.
The courses will take place at different times, dates, and formats to offer maximum flexibility to K12 educators. Better yet, this experience is FREE. The Foundation is offering full scholarships for US K-12 public educators on a first come, first-serve basis when you register for the course of your choice on the Foundation’s digital learning platform: the Pathfinders Online Institute.
