Hey folks. Part of a podcast interview with me from Jared O'Leary's great #csk8 podcast! Re-broadcast, and here's a snippet. Links to the whole thing if you're interested.

@donwatkins I like this. It’s Libterm on iPad. Big problem is, I have to somehow install the Turtle Library on this iPad so Libterm can use it. I’m researching now. #python #libterm #ios #ipad #codingforkids #hourofcode #csforall I’ll let you know if I make any progress.

Today is the absolute last day to enter the Rural Technolgy Fund Golden Ticket Fundraiser. The winner gets seats in all my online training classes, signed copies of all my books, training from Dragos, and $500 to spend on tech books. All the details are here: https://ruraltechfund.org/goldenticket/.
I’ve got some great news to share on this last day… as of this morning, we’ve exceeded our goal of raising $100K. That means I’m going to choose TWO Golden Ticket winners. This is massive news for the RTF and these food banks.
Speaking for the RTF, we’ll use the money we raised to do lots of great work. We’ll fund tech ed programs in rural schools and libraries. That includes classes (like computer science), after school clubs (like Girls Who Code), competitive robotics teams (like FIRST), and more.
We have so many great stories to share about the work we’ve done in this area all over the country. Here are a few recent ones:
- California: https://ruraltechfund.org/building-from-scratch-how-a-california-educator-brought-robotics-to-her-one-room-school/
- New Mexico: https://ruraltechfund.org/connecting-culture-and-community-through-tech-education/
- Massachusetts: https://ruraltechfund.org/outside-her-comfort-zone-how-an-ma-educator-integrated-robotics/
- Georgia: https://ruraltechfund.org/one-librarians-approach-to-stem-create-a-technology-petting-zoo/
We’ll also use this money to provide technology access to students with disabilities. This includes items like tablets with text-to-speech apps, specialized keyboards, portable digital magnifiers, and accessibility software.
Finally, this money will help fund our scholarship programs. We use these programs to give rural students a little help when they’re starting their college education in technical fields. Here are this year’s winners: https://ruraltechfund.org/2022-scholarship-winners/.
By the way, if you’ve already made a donation, check to see if your workplace provides an employee match program. The RTF is listed in most of the major platforms like Benevity and Bright Funds. It’s an easy way to 1.5-2x your impact.
Thank y'all so much for supporting our work this year. What we do is incredibly challenging and emotionally draining at times, but it's also rewarding, and I'm thankful for the folks that believe in it and support it.

My ex colleagues just published another report from the gender balance project I worked on.

Today we publish the report on another trial that's part of our Gender Balance in Computing research programme. This trial was about increasing girls' sense of belonging designed by @thewisecampaign and @B_I_Tweets.
