ASU EdPlus launched the Baobab Digital Innovation Scholars Program to equip Scholars with graduate-level education and professional skills that can propel them into fields like learning sciences, user experience, computer science, data analysis and software engineering. Participants may also have the opportunity to gain practical experience as part-time employees at ASU EdPlus.
