At this point in the year, you should be around **Unit 11: The Internet** or continuing to work through the Practice Performance Task units. If your classes are running behind, we recommend that you skip the Steganography practice PT so you can get through the rest of the course content before the exam. You can always come back to this module if you find yourself with extra time later in the year.

## 💡 Project of the Month: Black Tech Pioneers

[![undefined](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cm264m3an0084qegvyd7aetst/images/unnamed-1731101824871-compressed.png)](https://codehs.com/curriculum/projects/19326)

This February we're celebrating Black History Month by highlighting the "Black Tech Pioneers" project. This project encourages students to explore the significant contributions of Black innovators across the tech industry. Students will learn about their background, inventions, contributions, and accolades.

After researching Black tech pioneers, students create a program to organize their findings. They’ll use a data structure like a list to store details about each individual. Their list or array will include objects or dictionaries with key-value pairs detailing the significant information and contributions of each pioneer you studied.
