Five years ago, there were no computer science classes offered by schools within San Diego’s Sweetwater Union School District. Today, Sweetwater High School has a number of such classes, several of them Advanced Placement classes that encourage students to continue their education. That progress earned teacher Arthur Lopez, among others, and student Karla Gonzalez an invitation to meet with White House and National Science Foundation officials late last week.
