Louisiana

At Rex, we have matched Louisiana vision with our own.

At Rex Academy, we are dedicated to building quality computer science education for all ages. Our core belief is that computer science should be available to all learners as it is a gateway to many opportunities.

Learning to code is comparable to learning reading, writing, and math for this generation. Rex makes this process easy and enjoyable for all!

Alabama is a STEM rich state.

In 2022, Louisiana established the Computer Science Education Advisory Commission (CSEAC) so that the state board of education can draw up and implement a plan of action to deliver computer science education to all of its public schools.

As of this writing, official standards have not been adopted just yet.
