Students in middle school have the opportunity to earn a Dyn University certificate by completing three eight-week courses in software development.This program provides hands-on opportunities for the students to learn concepts of computer programming. The first of the three courses will start next Wednesday, February 18. 

The program in Software Development Fundamentals is offered by SEE Science Center and Dyn, Inc. for 7th and 8th graders.  There is a cost for the course, but need-based scholarships are available. 

Tech companies, such as Manchester-based Dynhave long been looking to find ways to educate future work-force talent to ensure that they have the talent that they need to grow their companies. In collaboration with the Technology & Innovation Academy at SEE, Dyn University is introducing this new certification program for middle school students. It will prepare students to pursue a technology-focused curriculum in their high school and college career.

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

On Wednesday, March 29, 2017, Manchester High School West is hosting a school-wide Career Day. The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter. Students will follow their regular schedules and be introduced to a different career field with each class change. Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals. Lunch will be provided in all sessions. Full day. 7:15 am - 3:00 pm Morning only, 7:l5 am - 11:30 am Afternoon only, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Members of the com
