FYI

Please find following some information about some local support available for those interested in pursuing computer careers. Mr. Aker is a former homeschool dad who is interested in helping local students to prepare for the technology field. He is looking to assess interest in the homeschool community. I am attaching some PDFs about different career paths available in Computer Science.

From Les Aker –

I’m the technology subject matter expert volunteer with the Lowcountry chapter of SCORE, a member of the Beaufort Digital Corridor, and I’m on the advisory board for the Cyber program at TCL.  I spent most of my 40+ year Computer Science career working at the Naval Research Laboratory (www.nrl.navy.mil), the US Navy’s corporate research and development facility.  

I also manage an online server for the TCL Cyber students where they can ask questions about their careers and coursework.  If there is an interest among the parents, it would not be difficult to do the same thing for high school students.
