Fwd: Google CS4HS PD Opportunity

[Jennifer Lowton]

Although I am sad that our incredible Apps Development/Computer Science Instructor, David Benedetto, is leaving us, I am very excited about his new position with the DOE around STEM/STEAM in the classroom  (congrats, David!) so I wanted to share with you all this exciting opportunity from him for educators in your districts/schools in NH this summer.
