Diversifying the Images of Computer Science: Carnegie Mellon Students Take on the Challenge!
Carol Frieze, Emily Treat · 2006
Abstract-- This paper tells the story of two student initiatives, driven by a desire to diversify the images that surround computing-related disciplines and those who work in them. We believe it may hold some useful pointers for those interested in showing that computer science is so much more than “coding”. It offers easily adaptable models for those interested in launching outreach programs to encourage more girls and women (and boys and men) to participate in computing-related fields. 2
