Through continuous iteration, they build, refine, and adapt their curriculum to ensure it is keeping up with the demands of the industry and preparing graduates for the rigorous expectations of a career in tech today and well into the future.

Mid-Valley STEM-CTE Hub is based in Albany, OR, and works in Linn and Benton counties to create and elevate STEM & CTE opportunities throughout the region. In partnership with educators, industry, families, students, nonprofits, and community-based organizations, they promote opportunities for students to develop the fundamental STEM & CTE-enabled skills and mindsets necessary to become creative life-long learners who can adapt to changing social & economic conditions.

"Code Fellows is an integral partner in the work we are accomplishing here in our state. Together we are able to ensure our teachers are trained in the most relevant and in-demand computer science concepts of today, while ensuring our middle and high schools have courses designed to meet the growing needs of curricula in line with state standards, college degrees, and employment demand. Thanks to Code Fellows and our partnership with Linn-Benton Community College, we're able to provide a pathway for students to gain college credit, while also ensuring students gain the skills they need to become professionals in the industry. Without our partnership with Code Fellows, we would not be able to serve the needs of school districts, teachers, and students in our region." – Chris Singer, Mid-Valley STEM-CTE Hub
