The Computer Science Lab School (CSLS) at Oscar Smith Middle (OSM) is dedicated to seamlessly integrating computer science into the curriculum through a human-centered design thinking framework. This collaborative initiative between Chesapeake City Public Schools (CPS) and ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï (±¬ÁϹÏ) emphasizes the importance of early academic preparation for underrepresented students in the technology talent pipeline. We do this by:
Transformative Opportunities and Experiences
+
Innovative Focus on Computer Science
+
Cultivate Curiosity and Cultural Awareness
+
Empowering Students in their Academic Journey
Our vision is to empower middle school students with a program that prepares them for high school and the technology talent pipeline. CSLS envisions students contributing to computer science with technical skills and design thinking.
