Barriers to equitable implementation of computer science (CS) high school classes include the lack of CS teachers, funds, and political support [3]. A grassroots effort in Maryland has focused on increasing computing education access from kindergarten through high school, and recently established the Maryland Center for Computing Education (MCCE). To understand the growth in computing education, we analyzed the demographics of Maryland public high school graduates, economic differences between the local education agencies (LEA) and the workforce within each county, and the perceptions of Maryland high school CS teachers. Although each subgroup of public high school graduates taking at least one CS class has increased, the rates of increase vary across gender, race, and ethnic subgroups. The LEA economic differences reflect the current dominant industries and overall wealth within each LEA. Finally, Maryland high school CS teachers’ perceptions of students taking CS in high school are consistent with the increases reported by the state.","PeriodicalId":280760,"journal":{"name":"2018 Research on Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133315259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also one of the reasons for the low representation of women and Black people in computing. Research has attempted to understand why these underrepresented groups feel like they do not belong in computing. These initiatives tend to analyze race and gender separately as if people experience these aspects of identity separately. For Black women who are seeking to belong in computing, these sorts of analyses are problematic. Black women are not just “women plus color, or Black plus gender” [1]. Intersections of their race and gender yield unique experiences for them. Thus, analyses that only focus on women’s experiences or Blacks’ experiences leaves out the many nuances that result from one being both a woman and Black. This paper is an exploration of “what it means to belong” in computing. By analyzing Black womens multiple identities through an intersectional lens, we show that most research for Black people or women is not inclusive of Black womens unique perspectives. We make visible a gap in computing education research that does not address intersectionality.","PeriodicalId":280760,"journal":{"name":"2018 Research on Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124764874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most efforts to broaden participation in computer science lack a cultural and contextual perspective, and focus on building individual competencies and motivation. In this paper, we propose that a greater understanding of relationships is critical to inform efforts to increase the interest and build the computational skills of Latino/a youth to enter and persist in a computing education pathway. The focus of this study is on a community technology center that serves primarily Latino/a youth in an agricultural region of California. The primary research question was “What is the role of relationships in Latino/a students' interest in computer science?” Data were collected from high school students (97 surveys and 20 in-depth interviews), and from center staff (6 in-depth interviews). The findings show how relationships help students connect computer science to cultural values by forming communities of practice around CS with similar peers and mentors.","PeriodicalId":280760,"journal":{"name":"2018 Research on Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127680390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent data has shown a gross underrepresentation of African Americans and other minority groups in computing and technology at the Masters and Doctoral levels. With a greater demand for diversity within the field of computing, it becomes more prevalent to find the causes for a lack of participation of such populations at the post-secondary level and find solutions to help increase the numbers. The study conducted looked at students’ knowledge and experience in conducting and presenting research as well as their academic capabilities and programming experience. The study also probed the students about their knowledge and confidence in applying to graduate school and if they feel their inner circle was sufficient in preparing to apply. Our findings from the survey revealed that although the participants appeared to meet the academic requirements and had some level of research experience, they indicated that they did not possess much knowledge about nor feel confident in their ability to get into a graduate program. Findings also showed that the students know of people they can seek out to learn about graduate school, but most of them do not hold a Ph.D. At the end of the paper, current practices that help to provide students with the knowledge, confidence, and ability to pursue graduate studies in computing are reviewed.","PeriodicalId":280760,"journal":{"name":"2018 Research on Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT)","volume":"31 16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116154342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
