Pueblo high school students collaborate with technology industry professionals

Posted

PUEBLO — A unique opportunity Monday for Pueblo high school students to collaborate with technology industry professionals.

Students from several Pueblo School District 60 schools got to learn about computer science up close at Colorado State University (CSU) Pueblo. The event was led by Google volunteers and the CSU Pueblo Computer Information System and Cybersecurity team.

They dove into topics like Artificial Intelligence and data analysis.

According to organizers, the goal is to encourage young people to see themselves in future tech careers, like Google Training Lead Christian Michael, who is a Pueblo South High School alum.

"I'm from Pueblo and I love this community and my parents still live here, I went to Pueblo South High School," said Michael. "I love to bring Googlers with me that are software engineers to help inspire high school students to perhaps choose a career in computer science."

Monday's event is part of a larger push to help students worldwide learn about computer science careers.
