Hi everyone!

Hope your week is off to a smooth start --

We had a great September CSTA-MN virtual meeting last week - thank you so much to those who attended! The following is a quick recap:

We collaborated around: What it means to be a CS teacher -- noting that anyone who is interested in CS education is welcome to attend our meetings!

We Shared Nifty Activities: Thanks to the following educators who shared fun and engaging activities to kick off the school year at each grade band:

• Elem: Liz Walsh
• Middle School: Ashley Goetz 
• High School: Kaitie O’Bryan 

We will work with each contributor to add their Nifty Activities to our NEW CSTA-MN Virtual Community Library space - stay tuned!

We crowdsourced some next steps -- please take a look at the following and share your perspectives!
