Tomorrow night, Washburn Rural High School's Computer Science Honor Society (CSHS) is celebrating Computer Science Education Week by offering a FREE event to USD 437 elementary students! CSHS is an honor society that is based on service, equity, and excellence within computer science. Our goal is to make a difference within our school and community. We want to do this by providing students an opportunity from a young age to learn not only what computer science is, but introduce students to STEAM activities. STEAM includes Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.

This event is catered to students grades K-6 in the Auburn-Washburn School District, but open to students through grade 8. There is no prior coding experience required for students to enter. There will be an array of activities and carnival games available for students to rotate through over the course of the evening. Parents are invited to go to the stations with students as they explore STEAM activities.

The Innovation Center at Washburn Rural High School has officially opened its doors, offering students an exciting new space equipped with cutting-edge technology. From state-of-the-art classrooms to fully equipped labs, students are diving into hands-on learning experiences like never before.

"Regardless of what program our kids are in, I think our greatest hope is that they're in the classroom, and in the shops, and in the labs acquiring skills and knowledge that really helps them bridge the gap to whatever is next for them," said Associate Principal Kyle Reed.
