Community is the key! Bringing the community into a shared space to learn about upcoming events and projects is an annual tradition for AoIT Academy at Hoover High School. The orientation kicked off with a video of former academy students sharing their positive experiences in Hoover AoIT. Following the video a few former students shared how Hoover AoIT was the bridge to what they are currently doing in college or career. Community partners were up next. Two opportunities presented were joining The League of Amazing Programers and applying to work in the cafe at the local YMCA. The interdisciplinary projects were introduced and community partners / clients discussed what they were hoping would result from the students efforts. In the end, the message was clear! Hoover’s AoIT Academy is a community where students are informed, supported, and part of a family!
