              <br>
              The new minigrant we are working on is a continuation of
              our community building work on the previous minigrant, but
              the other component of the previous minigrant was a
              statewide summit.  Instead of that, in the new minigrant
              we are proposing to do a landscape survey (which is really
              a continuation of previous work on our CE21 and CS10K
              awards, not the minigrant).  So I'm not sure what category
              that would fall in overall.  If it qualifies as a
              continuation, then I'd certainly prefer to have the few
              extra days and a shorter proposal to prepare! <br>
              <br>
              Is the supplemental funding cap still $25K like a regular
              minigrant?<br>
              <br>
              Thanks!<br>

                          I heard that the minigrant application
                          deadline had been extended to Friday, October
                          6, which is great! -- we had thought about
                          putting something in but hadn't been on top of
                          the deadline, so we thought we'd missed it. 
                          We're planning to send something that would
                          let us (a) continue our planning meetings with
                          the state CS education steering committee and
                          (b) distribute a new landscape survey
                          (expanding our coverage to include K-8
                          teachers, and also taking advantage of
                          Maryland's new longitudinal database to ask
                          fewer questions about student numbers (since
                          we can get that from the database) and more
                          questions about teacher experiences with PD
                          and mentoring/communities of practice).  It's
                          a scramble but we will get it in by Friday!<br
