Voices of Change: Black and Latine Students’ Perspectives on Equitable Computer Science Education
Thu, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3CSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session elevates high school student experiences and perspectives regarding how computer science education can support meaningful engagement, sustained interest, and consequential learning, particularly for young women and low-income students of color whose communities are underrepresented in the field. Addressing a gap in current literature valuing what young people need and want in schooling to prepare them for their current and future lives with technology, this collection of four papers takes a justice-centered approach that considers how students’ perspectives can inform how we repair the harm of inequitable computing education and tech influences on minoritized peoples’ lives and communities. This work can inspire ways to reimagine both research and approaches to pedagogy, curricular design, and policy around computing education.
