• Edhesive offers PD and training
• Edhesive provides seven day per week TA support to both students and teachers
• also used by many experienced CS instructors as a teaching tool to augment existing curriculum and teach in a fully blended or flipped learning environment

About Edhesive's Partnership with Amazon Future Engineer
 
Edhesive has partnered with the Amazon Future Engineer program to create accessible learn-to-work opportunities for students through Edhesive’s CS courses. Any school can apply to the program but preference will go towards those that don’t already offer an AP computer science course, as well as schools that have financial need and a plan to recruit students from underrepresented populations.
 
In addition to supporting schools with licenses to run Edhesive programs, Amazon is also creating the following benefits exclusively for Edhesive partner schools:

• Amazon Web Services content on cloud computing, the #1 most in-demand job skill on LinkedIn for the last two years
• Amazon Web Services content integration in AP Computer Science Principles pertaining to data, statistical analysis, distributed computing, cloud computing, networking infrastructure, and cybersecurity
• Amazon will provide students with free AWS Educate accounts with a $75 credit towards hosting services
• Students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher will be encouraged to apply to the Amazon Future Engineer Pathway internship program
• Amazon is also supporting schools directly with opportunities for classroom visits, school trips, and promotional materials
