These percentages aremeant to help us describe our particular sample and we do not mean to generalize beyond this to,for example, reflect percentages of all kindergartners.Researcher RolesAs mentioned above, both authors contributed to data analysis. While the second author’s rolewas purely that of a researcher in this project, never having met the participants in person, thefirst author had an “active membership” role in the classroom community [21, 24].

Background2.1 Computing’s Diversity ScorecardComputing is a high growth field with well-paying career opportunities, but the percentage ofwomen and minorities in careers in computing is well below their percentages in both theworkforce and in society. With a 19% projected job growth in computing between 2016 and2026, employment prospects and compensation levels in computing are both excellent; the paygap between men and women is also low compared to other engineering disciplines.2 Yet overthe past decade, women have held only 25% of computer and mathematical (C&M) jobs whilecomprising 56%-58% of the total workforce [11]; in 2016, Blacks made up only 7.9% percent ofC&M workers while comprising 11.9% of all workers

To worsen theissue, the number of students enrolled in engineering disciplines is not increasing and in some casesis decreasing [2] with especially low representation from underrepresented minorities [1] andfemale students [3]. In response to this lack of interest in STEM majors, robotics programs havebeen created specifically to motivate high school students toward STEM careers. The use ofrobotics to perform tasks is captivating [1].
