About HER Academy

The Mission

Educational collaboration through interdisciplinary units of study around computing.

To support the school in developing a systematic effort that brings all girls an understanding of computational science that stems from experiential learning and leads to creation of product.

The Purpose

To implement a technology infused educational strategic plan that applies computer science as a tool for K-12 learning and expression across all disciplines and interests through the designing of authentic, learner-driven activities that recognize and accommodate learner variability.
