work should be built. Appropriating the turtle in 1 It is important to note, this is the first CS course, since UC Berkeley has been tracking student course data, thathas ever achieved that feat.the LOGO programming environment gave children a way to think about the principles ofcomputation and the practice of programming.Design of an Inclusive CS0 CourseAt UC Berkeley, there are two separate ways a students can get a CS degree. They can either get aBachelor of Arts (B.A.) through the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S), or get a Bachelor ofScience (B.Sc.) through the College of Engineering. The major difference between the two tracksis that students who get the B.A. get to take breadth requirements that gives them exposure tomore

women's abilities) aswell as institutional policies and practices. Studies have shown that a chilly climate can have anegative impact on cognitive development and can also influence women’s desire to stay andpersist within a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) field. At The Ohio StateUniversity College of Engineering (COE), women are currently 20% of the overallundergraduate student population within the College.Improving women’s retention in engineering fields requires a multifaceted approach. Both directsupport for women, along with the development of allies, are crucial to promoting a long-lasting,positive climate for women studying in this field. Allies for Women Engineers (AWE) at TheOhio State University is a pilot cohort of 11

employing quantitative methods are likely of most interest to practitioners who wouldwant to evaluate the effectiveness of this pedagogical approach before implementation in theclassroom. As a means of identifying future possible frameworks for further investigation on theimpact of peer coaching on female engineering students, this study explores the followingresearch questions: (1) How does student opinion about coaching transform through this class?(2) What new or revised perspectives do students gain, as both coach and coachee? (3) How doescoaching equip engineering women for the transition to the workforce? Findings indicate thatstudents’ initial apprehension about coaching progresses into recognition and experience ofbroad potential impact
