Role Models in the Field of Computer Science
In an effort to broaden participation of under-represented groups (women, Hispanic/Latinx, Black, Native American, Pacific Islanders) in the field of Computer Science, the ECforALL upper-elementary school curriculum aims to share the stories of computer scientists with diverse backgrounds. The stories will be told in a short 1-3 minute video. The lesson will take 10-15 minutes. A video will be created and students reflect on the video with a workbook page. The aim of the video will be:
1. to introduce students to careers in computer science.
2. to expose all students to the diverse world around them by sharing details about the role model's life.
3. to help students develop a sense of belonging in the computer science field.
4. to mention important skills/attitudes/habits that contribute to success.
If you are a computer scientist from an underrepresented group and who enjoys your career, please consider sharing your story with elementary school-aged kids by emailing Dana Saito-Stehberger at [email protected].
