Abstract
This collection of research papers examines the diverse experiences and challenges faced by engineering and computing students from varied backgrounds. A focus is on the funds of knowledge of migratory engineering students and the cultural confrontations faced by Latino/a/x students in engineering. Papers also offer insights into the youth's perspective on ethical dimensions and power dynamics in technology as well as efforts to combat racism within the tech education sector. Finally, challenges and solutions are explored for educators aiming to provide culturally relevant computer science instructional materials.
