At Rex, we have matched Alabama’s vision with our own.

At Rex Academy, we are dedicated to building quality computer science education for all ages. Our core belief is that computer science should be available to all learners as it is a gateway to many opportunities.

Learning to code is comparable to learning reading, writing, and math for this generation. Rex makes this process easy and enjoyable for all!

Alabama is a STEM rich state.

STEM jobs in Alabama will increase by 9 percent between 2017
and 2027. Therefore, Alabama started a CS4AL initiative in 2018 and established a roadmap to STEM success.
Governor Ivey signed a bill into law that established the Alabama school of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE) in 2018. This facility, based in Huntsville, will serve as destination hub for advancements in computer science education going into the future.
