Build the class you wish you had: Creating a K-12 IT Career Pathway
This session explores how individual technology courses can grow into a connected IT career pathway combining hands-on instruction, industry certifications, dual credit, authentic technical support, and paid work-based learning. Using the evolution of a high school technology program as a real-world example, we will examine how introductory technology courses can connect with CompTIA Tech+ and A+, networking, programming and computer science, a student-run Help Desk, student technology employment, summer technology work, and college coursework.
The Students Run the Place: Turning a Computer Science Program into a Real IT Department
This session explores how a high school computer science and IT program evolved beyond the classroom by making students active participants in the district technology department. Students progress from technical coursework into a student-run Help Desk, authentic district technology projects, paid student technology positions, and summer employment. Along the way, they troubleshoot devices, repair Chromebooks, deploy equipment, assist staff, manage support requests, install and configure technology, and solve problems that have real consequences for real users.
