Creating a Lasting Legacy: Providing AP Computer Science
Preparation and Career Awareness For High School Students
The Legacy Program is an initiative to prepare high school students in Ohio for the College Board’s Advanced Placement Computer Science course and exam. The Legacy program is supported by a National Science Foundation grant. In collaboration with Cleveland State University and Central State University, this summer 50 high school students will be supported in this years upcoming cohort.
The goal of the program is to increase participation and preparation of students who have the lowest percentage of representation in computer science and software development fields. Students who are accepted into the program and complete all program activities will receive a stipend of up too 1,700. Along with the stipend room and board will be provided for students participating in the Legacy program.
Why Legacy ?
Legacy is a free program preparing high school students for AP Computer Science Principles. AP CS Principles is a year-long AP course that counts as a math elective toward graduation. Students who score well on the AP Exam could earn college credit or advanced placement in college. Students will learn abstraction , algorithms, data and information programming, how the Internet works and more!
When will the program take place?
This Summer’s 2025 Legacy program will be hosted at two different universities. Participants will begin the program on the campus of Cleveland State University from June 20th- June 26th, 2025 , where they will receive free room and board during their stay. After completing the first portion of the program, students will return home and then visit Central State University from June 30th- July 2nd, 2025, where they will also receive free room and board to complete the remainder of the program.
