Only 3% of Black students learn computer science in high school or beyond. Please watch and share this video. Inspire a student. Together we can change the face of computer science. #BlackVoicesForCS

Change the Face of Computer Science

Inspire or encourage a Black student to try computer science, and let them know they belong.

Today marks the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth. Despite gains in recent years in the number of Black/African-American students who have access to CS, these students still don't have the same access as other groups. We're on a mission to change that! #BlackVoicesInCS

Remember about 5 months ago when the world pulled together to support healthcare professionals and expressed gratitude in so many different ways? We need this same energy and gratitude for educators now and forever. 1/5

Many have looked to AI to help during emergencies like COVID-19, making ethics even more important as computer scientists innovate quickly. Researcher @jesswhittles explains how ethics should become standard when we build these systems. #CSforGood buff.ly/3hXiU7L

“I don’t have all the answers. I just know that we have to have better conversations in safer spaces.” Thank you, @Lien_Diaz, for sparking those conversations and creating those spaces. #CSTA2020 #CSforALL – at Montauk, NY

Particularly during this crisis, the #DigitalDivide and issues of access & equity are further amplified. Our educators are giving it their best to connect with students and maintain a continuity of learning. Internet providers, let's work together to make #FreeWifFi4All.
