Curious about CS education in Idaho? Of course you are. I'm super excited to be headed to Vegas this week to rub circuits with other CS Educators at CSTA and the NSF PI meeting. I'm working with two teams to present posters on Thursday. Here is the one about the Idaho Elementary CS Collaborative, where we're learning about strengths and challenges rural districts bring to K-5 CS pathway development.
