Homeroom Heroes Hackathon presented by SAP

On Jan. 2, SAP and 49ers EDU presented by Chevron recognized nine Homeroom Heroes. Homeroom Heroes serves to recognize the teachers who are helping to educate and guide the next generation of leaders in the Bay Area community through STEAM education. These Homeroom Heroes go above and beyond both inside and outside of the classroom, utilizing SAP and 49ers EDU's Virtual Lesson Plans to ensure that the future of our community is in great hands. On April 25, they welcomed us into their classrooms as their students compete in the Homeroom Heroes Hackathon. Check it out here!

49ers EDU presented by Chevron leverages the game of football and Levi’s® Stadium as platforms to excite children about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) concepts, sparking and fueling an interest in these subjects with students at an early age. 49ers EDU is steadfast in its commitment to serving students, teachers, and families—especially those furthest from resource and opportunity—to ensure our community's future workforce will be prepared through high quality and fun STEAM education.
