Oh no!! Our time is up. :-( This was great everyone! For future reference, here's a list of all the questions we addressed tonight. #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

From @jdvscience2 Important to be involved in community advisory groups and other community benefit organizations - form collaboratives, relationships, and join missions to served rural communities together #samacademymaker #CS4rural #InfyXRoads

From @jdvscience2 A5 Take program to where the kids such as the Roving Community Science Workshop @JerryDValadez #cswnetwork@cswnet #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

From @jdvscience2 A5 Recruit your staff and volunteers from the communities you serve through STEM #samacademymaker and to build capacity within the youth through STEM #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

From @jdvscience2 A4 we take program to where the kids are via a Roving Community Science Workshop @JerryDValadez and trailers full of STEM resources #cswnetwork @cswnet #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

From @jdvscience2 A4 also the search for funding to support schools and communities that do not have the resources to bring our programs to kids #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

from @jdvscience2 A4: As a community based organization the challenge of building capacity to sustain critical program components is one challenge #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

From @jdvscience2 A2, A3 We immerse communities and schools with STEM and making through grants, contracts, and donated time so growth of programs across stakeholders is tracked #infyXRoad #cs4rural

From @jdvscience2 A3: Also measure number of students and parents participating and also survey groups for content knowledge and growth of youth development assets over time in program #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

From @jdvscience2 Work closely with the Migrant Education program through COE brings us to even more isolated schools and communities in expansive agricultural areas #infyXRoads #CS4rural

In case you didn't see them, @jdvscience2 answers: A2 We immerse communities and schools with STEM and making through grants, contracts, and donated time #infyXRoad #cs4rural

A huge thank you to @InfyFoundation for putting this on and to the panelists @patti_ordonez and @jdvscience2 for joining us. Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight. Look forward to continuing the conversation in 2019! Have a great night and Happy Holidays! #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

@jdvscience2 How are local business leaders or workforce/economic development leaders involved in working with you? #cs4rural #infyXroads

@CS4Rural A5 Recruit your staff and volunteers from the communities you serve through STEM #samacademymaker and to build capacity within the youth through STEM #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

And finally, we succeed as a community. Q5: What best practices or lessons learned or advice would you like to share with others? #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

@ECEP_CS Do you have business leaders and/or workforce development leaders on your teams? #cs4rural #infyXroads

A5: Our state leadership teams have seen successes with CS 'road shows' taking the #CSforAll work and messages across entire states vs staying in urban areas; having leadership teams made up of people from all parts of a state is important too #InfyXRoads

@patti_ordonez How do you work with your business community? Are they part of the team? #cs4rural #infyXroads

@CS4Rural A5: 4. It’s important to have a united, trusting, and diverse team leading the effort, not just concerning gender, race, ethnicity, but also in terms of professional skills like education, evaluation, CS, marketing, fundraising, and branding. #InfyXRoads #cs4rural (2/2)

A4: ECEP is hosting a SIGCSE pre-symposium - Broadening Participation in Computing, Amplifying Efforts in Rural Communities to share about the high quality CSed happening in rural, often w more challenges ($, trained teachers, broadband) than urban CSed movements #InfyXRoads

@CS4Rural A5: 1. Culturally relevant curriculum is what engages students and teachers. 2. Patience and persistence are essential. 3. You must keep teachers engaged with a support system that you build with them. .#InfyXRoads #cs4rural (1/2)
