I have a verified GitHub Education account, but I’m still unable to access the Microsoft MakeCode Intro to CS curriculum. The link still shows that I am not a verified teacher.

My GitHub Profile name is tlmaier. I have used the Microsoft AP Computer Science Principles curriculum in the past. Please help.

After you get the invite, try logging out and back in to GitHub—the verified status sometimes doesn’t stick until you do that.

Seems like there still might be some issues with verification. I got the same “You are not currently listed as a GitHub Verified Educator”, even though I have been for a while.

Could you please add me to the MakeCode Intro to CS curriculum repo? Username is kbvatral Thank you!

So happy I found this thread. I am having the same issue. I was a verified educator and used this previously but recently switched counties and my new email won’t verify. My username is araynovich. Can I be added as well?
