This paper describes our team’s experience in designing and delivering the online teacher professional development (PD) program, [project name], aimed at empowering educators with computer science (CS) knowledge to increase Latinx participation in CS and STEM education within a large, urban predominantly Latinx school district in South Texas. This paper highlights the success, challenges, and lessons learned in such CS teacher professional development through online platforms, specifically through the COVID-19 pandemic over the course of two cohorts. Teacher participants recognize the importance of integrating CS into their classrooms, and the program aims to enhance its impact through collaboration with district administrators and refinement of the online learning experience.
