Huntsville’s ASCTE launches new cyber and engineering outreach program

HUNTSVILLE, AL — The Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE) announced the launch of a new statewide program: Advancing Cyber Concepts and Engineering Learning (ACCEL). 

ACCEL is an outreach effort from ASCTE. The Alabama Legislation that created ASCTE also mandates that the school assist teachers, administrators, and superintendents across the state in replicating cyber technology & engineering studies within their own schools.

Within the past year, ASCTE offered middle school cyber camps in Jackson, Clarke, and Bullock Counties. ACCEL will formalize this effort to include educator workshops, cyber curriculum implementation, standard-based grading pedagogy, K-12 curriculum support, and training for IT specialists. In addition, ACCEL will customize to meet the needs of schools and districts across Alabama. 

“We are excited to announce the launch of our new outreach program, ACCEL, which reflects our commitment to making a positive impact beyond the walls of our school and throughout the state of Alabama. Through this program, we aim to create meaningful connections by partnering with schools and inspiring a passion for learning and growth in the cyber and engineering fields. K12 education in Alabama is on an upward trajectory, and we are eager to share our area of expertise with those around us,” said Matt Massey, President of ASCTE
