Abstract
In 2005, Jan Cuny started the "Broadening Participation in Computing" (BPC) program at the U.S. National Science Foundation with a thought-provoking question: do we need different approaches to engage diverse people in computing? The answer might seem to be yes --- with alliances including the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), the Computing Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI), AccessComputing (for people with disabilities), and the Institute for African American Mentoring in Computer Sciences (IAAMCS). On the other hand, STARS builds university leadership to serve local communities, while Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) works to build capacity in schools for teaching computing, and Into the Loop engages deeply with high schools in Los Angeles to integrate rigorous computing courses into this highly diverse district.
