Code2College had greater flexibility than high schools to change our model as we launched our first virtual course in March 2020. Maintaining approximately the same ratio of volunteers to students, we scaled our classes down to groups of just six students led by one or two volunteers and placed a heavy emphasis on active participation from all students. The switch to virtual improved access to our programming both by allowing us to easily expand our reach past central Texas and by removing the transportation barrier. One of the students in our focus group emphasized that he would not have been able to participate otherwise, as there was no bus to take him home from after-school classes. 14
