Ends 2/25 - Support Free Computer Science and Coding Classes for Youth - Help CSTUY Get Funding - Vote Through Reddit!

Programming, coding, and computer science skills are increasingly in demand, but youth do not always have access or the money to consider picking it up sometimes.

Enter CSTUY (Computer Science and Technology for Urban Youth), an organization dedicated to bringing computer science and technology related educational opportunities to high school and middle school students. Mike Zamansky, a Stuyvesant Computer Science teacher, along with Sam, and JonAlf, have joined with Jennifer Hsu and Artie Jordan along with other members of the Stuy CS Community to form CSTUY. You can learn more about CSTUY here.

In order to make these opportunities happen, it does cost money to run them. So, if you have an Reddit account, please login and vote for CSTUY to get some much needed funding.  This requires no money out of your pockets and just a few seconds of your time.   

Voting ends 2/25 - make sure to get your vote in! CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR CSTUY!

Thanks for your support!
