The future better watch out. While today, by nearly every measure, we’re behind when it comes to the knowledge, skills, and resources the future economy will demand, the C Spire Tech Movement is stepping up. We’re expanding access to broadband. Supporting computer science education. Launching powerful new technologies and cultivating digital experiences. We’ve got the future in our sights and we’re moving our communities forward with technology.
Development Pathway
We’re teaming up with the Center for Cyber Education at Mississippi State University to help students start careers in the rewarding and vital field of software development just one year after graduating high school.
To help inspire more high school students to pursue computer science, we've created an entire regional coding competition called C3.
43
high schools across Mississippi have participated so far.
70%
of students attending C3 say they’re now considering a career in IT or coding.
We’ve now expanded the inspiration and fun of our coding competition to include fourth grade students. They learn to control robots and get to interact with Pepper, our very own humanoid robot.
One way we're helping bridge the coding gap inside our schools is with the Base Camp Coding Academy. It's a non-profit program focused on helping under-advantaged youth launch careers in computer science.
As an integral part of the C Spire Tech Movement, MVMT is our yearly flagship event showcasing the latest innovations and trends in technology. It's our mission to inspire and educate attendees about how they can use technology to transform their lives and their communities' place in the future.
We’re taking over the Mississippi Optical Network and delivering a big win for the state, researchers, and tax payers.
We’re providing the fuel for students to launch long careers in technology, including the prestigious C Spire Nokia Bell-Labs Fellowship.
Are you a business wishing there were more software developers to hire? Are you a student interested in the incredible careers technology has to offer? Or maybe you’re an entrepreneur looking to disrupt an industry with a new innovation?
