Adeli Ynostroza-Ochoa; Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis; Marios S. Pattichis; Irán Tovar; Melissa Ibarra – International Journal of Multicultural Education, 2025
Although there have been efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), few studies have focused on how Latine bilingual students in rural contexts can access computer programming. The purpose of this case study is to examine how translanguaging facilitates…

Curricular Influences on Female Afterschool Facilitators' Computer Science Interests and Career Choices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Koch, Melissa; Gorges, Torie – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
Underrepresented populations such as women, African-Americans, and Latinos/as often come to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers by less traditional paths than White and Asian males. To better understand how and why women might shift toward STEM, particularly computer science, careers, we investigated the education and…

The Use of Robotics to Promote Computing to Pre-College Students with Visual Impairments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ludi, Stephanie; Reichlmayr, Tom – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2011
This article describes an outreach program to broaden participation in computing to include more students with visual impairments. The precollege workshops target students in grades 7-12 and engage students with robotics programming. The use of robotics at the precollege level has become popular in part due to the availability of Lego Mindstorm…
