The newly chartered American Indian Academy of Denver (AIAD) and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) successfully held an afterschool computer science event on August 26 at the Denver Indian Center.

The success of Native people is not solely represented by one organization, group, or society, but through the support of each other, we see that success.
