HISTORY OF COMPUTING PARTICIPATION IN COMPUTI...

This book provides a history of the efforts of the US National Science Foundation to broaden
participation in computing. The book briefly discusses the early history of the NSF's
involvement with education and workforce issues. It then turns to two programs outside the
computing directorate (the ADVANCE program and the Program on Women and Girls) that set the
stage for three programs in the NSF computing directorate on broadening participation: the IT
Workforce Program  the Broadening Participation in Computing program  and the Computing
Education for the 21st Century program. The work looks at NSF-funded research and NSF-funded
interventions both to increase the number of women  underrepresented minorities (African
Americans  Hispanics  and American Indians) and people with disabilities  and to increase the
number of public schools offering rigorous instruction in computing. Other organizations such
as the ACM  the Computer Science Teachers Association  and Code.org are also covered. The years
covered are primarily 1980 to the present.
