Abstract: We used Manna's theory on borrowing strength to examine the influence of local and national idea champions seeking to broaden the participation of K-12 students in computer science. Concepts from Manna's model were applied to analyze interview data gathered from idea champions at the national and local levels. We identified examples of borrowing strength that not only highlighted the importance of individual policy entrepreneurs but also elevated the importance of community building. We introduce the concept of building strength to highlight how idea champions strategically supported capacity-building activities at a different level in the federal system prior to borrowing strength.
