Abstract:
For over 10 years, the Education Justice Project (EJP) has been providing Higher Education opportunities to incarcerated individuals at the Danville Correctional Center. In past years, the inside members have grown increasingly invested in the Computer Science Workshops that are offered. This presentation will discuss what we do, our vision for the program, and what it is like to work with EJP.
