South Fayette Township School District

Integrating computational thinking in curriculum: Students in every grade level at South Fayette Township School District have computational thinking meaningfully embedded into their curriculum.

Working to close the gender gap in computer science: South Fayette offers classroom opportunities for all students to code, as well as a series of after-school connected learning activities for young women such as Girls Who Code (grades 5-8), a Girls STEAM Team, and a Girls Underwater ROV team (grades 8-12).

Employing human-centered design strategies: The district has a strong partnership with the LUMA Institute, a local firm that trains South Fayette educators to facilitate design thinking among teachers and students in developing curriculum.
