Sanger - best place for kid Makers in CA. SAM Academy @SAMAcademyMaker submitted for the #InfyMakers Awards Contest #InfyFoundation to expand opportunities to Sanger and Del Rey kids in STEM-Rich Making @InfosysFoundationUSA - twitter.com/SAMacademymake…

California students may not be ready for new science test edsource.org/?page_id=608700 via @edsource What are you doing to fix this problem? @SAMAcademyMaker

@CS4Rural 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

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

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

@CS4Rural A5 Take program to where the kids such as the Roving Community Science Workshop @JerryDValadez #cswnetwork@cswnet #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

@CS4Rural A5 Engage youth through civic engagement anchored in STEM and the Arts #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

@CS4Rural 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

This is great everyone! Now we know that nothing is ever easy. Tell us about the bumps in the road while working with rural communities. Q4: What is/was your greatest challenge? #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

@CS4Rural 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

@CS4Rural As a community based organization the challenge of building capacity to sustain critical program components is one challenge #InfyXRoads #CS4rural

@CS4Rural A2-3 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

With all that hard work, we have to think about a way to measure our outcomes. So the next question is Q3: What are your metrics for success? #InfyXRoads #cs4rural

@CS4Rural 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

@CS4Rural @patti_ordonez Work closely with the Migrant Education program through COE brings us to even more isolated schools and communities in expansive agricultural areas #infyXRoads #CS4rural

@CS4Rural @patti_ordonez A2 We immerse communities and schools with STEM and making through grants, contracts, and donated time #infyXRoad #cs4rural

I am joined by two amazing panelists tonight @patti_ordonez and @jdvscience2. Can the two of you introduce yourselves? #InfyXRoads #cs4rural
