Motivated by the literature thatassociates demographic identifiers with access to social capital, and students’ access todevelopmental relationships and career-related resources (social capital) in CS with theirpersistence, this study explores a CS support program’s impact on persistence through capitalbuilding. We focus on Google’s Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI), which providedgraduating high school students with a 3-week-long introduction to CS. We use interviews withparticipants who are now 2-5 years out of the program to study CSSI’s impact on their socialcapital and long-term persistence in CS. Thematic analysis reveals three

This narrative of STEM lacks thebroader social, economic, or ecological problems that STEM careers and adjacentinterdisciplinary practices deal with daily [7].While there is a recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary content integration throughreal-world problem-solving in STEM curricula [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], these methods are nottypical components of STEM education curricula.
