Inclusion: specifically targeting students from underrepresented communities benefits the goal of changing what a programmer looks like. ]]> 2020-08-02 01:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667253453 Minorities in STEM https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667255019 Middle/high school students whom are minorities in stem/underprivileged. if we truly want to increase inclusion/access in CS then we need to provide opportunities to those that need it (Equity!) They face multiple barriers so this can be a step to decreasing the gap. By marketing it to minorities, we are not blocking out those who do not fall under this category but instead focusing on the demographics that struggle more.]]> 2020-08-02 01:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667255019 audience https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667541007 high schoolers who typically get less exposure to CS or who don't typically think about doing CS, so girls/minority groups/underprivileged students

With that I'm thinking, if we're making a hackathon for people who [already knows how to code and all], how does it differ from any other hackathon? why is it that we, w/o any experience in hosting a hackathon, will go and host a hackathon for them? we can just promote other hackathons

So while before they may not have any access to CS, now, they get an opportunity to gain the benefits of knowing CS.
Through our hackathon, they can gain joy from coding and having a result, and thus consider CS and know more about CS.]]> 2020-08-02 22:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667541735 Exposing more to CS https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667542333 our mission statement is increasing the inclusion and access to computer science, so it makes sense if we're encouraging more to try computer science with this hackathon.]]> 2020-08-02 22:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667542333 Diversity? https://padlet.com/lallsupriya365/uf95gnv0o2pl4yd7/wish/667674553 to go w/ our statement about BLM, we can donate $25-$100 to a BLM in tech org or just general BLM. that's what a lot of organizations are doing to make it a hackathon for equality/blm
