I'm writing with bittersweet emotion to announce that Shaileen (Shay) Pokress, our MIT App Inventor Director of Education, will be leaving MIT at the beginning of May to take up a position as Director of Computer Science Instruction for Project Lead The Way, one of the country's top providers of STEM educational programs.
Shay has been the face of MIT App Inventor to the K-12 educational community from almost the day the project moved from Google to MIT.
