"What a great feeling to have completed a year helping students with Computer Science at Centennial High School." Thanks to Gulam Dasthagir for shining a light on TEALS. The Microsoft TEALS Program is only possible because of tech industry professionals who volunteer their time to help teachers and students.

Thousands of volunteers make it possible for the TEALS Program to support over 500 schools in the US each year. Thank you to volunteers, like Angela, for devoting their time to Computer Science education!

Jorge D. has been serving as a Microsoft TEALS Program volunteer and helping to teach computer science (CS) at his alma mater, North Shore High School, since 2020. "I help the teachers as an aide and step in to give my take on how the materials relate to the real world. This helps give the kids another perspective from the field."
