The Interacting Inequities in CS Education
CSTA
My mother was a 5th-grade teacher for most of my life, and so schools and teaching were a fixture of my youth. I remember helping her set up her room each year before school; when I was older, I was her teacher's aide for the two weeks before my district started. I watched her grade each night. I helped her prepare for job interviews. I made dinner when she was stuck in traffic on her 90-minute commute home.

It wasn’t so surprising that a major university was seeking to be more inclusive in a demographically skewed course of study. Women are 47% of the overall workforce yet occupy only 15% of engineering jobs while Blacks make up 11% of the nation’s workforce but hold 5% of engineering jobs, according to a Pew Research analysis of federal employment and education data.
