Welcome to the California State University Sacramento NSF ITEST Program
Home About Us Event Calendar Mentoring Links/Contact
Thank you for visiting our site! We are a dedicated multi-disciplinary group of professionals who are committed to the success of our student participants in this NSF/ITEST program. Our goal is to engage students in computer science and other STEM fields through the development of educational computer games. (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). We also want to give students the requisite skills to pursue higher education in STEM fields at a college of their choice. But beyond that, we strive to offer a program in which students not only learn and have fun, but also help others in the process. By building an educational game that benefits others, we hope that our students are motivated by the thrill of creating something that really helps their local community.
