The Northgate School District has recently been awarded a PA smart Targeted grant to expand computer science classes and teacher training for students in Pre-K through 8^th grade. This $35,000 grant will be used to train teachers and to purchase technology in alignment with a school-wide computer science program. Through this program, all students will have an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of computer coding and to apply that work with robotics.
