Dear Education Partners-

Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz has just announced the Lt. Governors’ COVID-19
Coding Challenge. These are extraordinary times.  We all understand
firsthand how the novel coronavirus has radically changed our daily lives
and reinforced the importance of technology.  For these reasons, Lt.
Governor Bysiewicz invites our creative Connecticut students to put their
ingenuity to good use by submitting ideas that could be implemented with
computer technology (apps, websites and/or computer programs) that assist
to:

●        defeat the spread of the disease;

●        aid our communities; or

●        encourage and inform everyone.



Our hope is that students can use this period of social distancing to
better their communities.



I am asking that you assist in this endeavor by sharing the information
with your distribution lists, post to your websites and advertise in any
other way that you see fit.



Students check out this flyer

learn how to participate.  Younger students are particularly encouraged to
participate.

Teachers check out this flyer
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1clr5hVg2h8IZDxJ2gKRLuCzdBPlKwin_/view> to
