Experiencing Research Through OurCS: Opportunities for Undergraduate Research in Computer Science
We describe a novel research-focused conference for undergraduate women in Computer Science. Pioneered at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007 and refined over four subsequent iterations (in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017), OurCS (Opportunities for Undergraduate Research in Computer Science) organizes participants into small teams, led by field experts, to explore open-ended research topics. Sessions devoted to hands-on research total more than 12 hours over the course of three days. Demand for the conference has increased steadily, and the model is ready for export. Regional versions geared towards local academic communities and other underrepresented groups will appear on the scene this year. We describe the model and the expansion plans, and provide evidence of success in strengthening and sustaining the research interests of the participants.
