“During the #pandemic, the actual plug-in technology has been our saving grace," said Denise Khaalid of @STEAMatOakdale. "We’ve been able to do virtual science labs, virtual art shows, we had a virtual musician who held a concert … we’ve been able to access so many experts.” https://t.co/A4Y1dyerTw

Now: @SenatorPlymale discusses Thundercloud, a nonprofit that aims to bring broadband to communities by using an anchor institution model – schools, hospitals and libraries need high-speed coverage and as you bring them that coverage, you also bring it to the surrounding areas. https://t.co/MoEEcRPN2j
