The workshops have three majors goals.

Second, to expand school counselors' personal technology toolbox to find ways to make our practices more efficient and sustainable. Lastly, to prepare counselors for integration into the K-12 School Guidance Plan following the ASCA national model and grant writing.
The Leadership Institute will explore how to foster design-based thinking, exploring labor trends in digital technology, encourage women and underrepresented students in computing careers, how computing careers can help students rise out of poverty.
