Moving Toward Just and Equitable Access to Computing Education

Fri, April 12, 4:55 to 6:25pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 115B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Students from historically minoritized groups are more interested in studying computer science than other students, but their enrollment in CS courses is nonetheless disproportionately small due to a variety of factors, many of which are barriers to access. The ability to access CS instruction is one of the four components of the CAPE framework, which is a systematic approach to analyzing equity in CS programs. This structured poster session explores access barriers and promising research for overcoming them. Topics include teacher perspectives on CS access, collaborative design of accessible tools, a map of the landscape of research on CS access, and the use of state-level data.
