FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 17TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"Raised in Atlanta by a father passionate about technology and a mother dedicated to social justice and education, I grew up inspired to bridge those two worlds. My work focuses on using technology to expand access to education and build tools that support students and communities. I’m also committed to making tech more accessible by sharing my experiences, my learning journey, and showing others that there’s space for them in tech."

"Through classes, on-campus organizations, personal projects and internships I have experienced at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, the people and friends around me created an environment where my opinions and perspectives were valued. This feeling of belonging played a huge role in my learning and growth. Being surrounded by such positive energy is why community has been the core of every project I’ve worked on and I’m excited to continue using the power of design to bring people together."

SERVING THE 17TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ facilitates hundreds of programs in communities across the state. Below are a few that operate in your district. Programs active as of January 2023.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ in the High School

Through the program, high school sophomores, juniors and seniors can complete Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ courses — and earn college credit — in their own classrooms with their own teachers. Teachers are approved and trained by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty to teach official Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ courses using Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ curriculum, activities, texts, tests and grading scales. Participating students can earn college credits at a fraction of the cost, and these credits are accepted by most colleges and universities across Washington and around the country. Partner high schools can offer Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ coursework in computer science, math, science, world languages, humanities and social sciences. .ÌýÌý
