Consequently, students reported experiencinganxiety when working with non-Black peers on group projects because they feel stereotyped as“lazy”. To avoid this stereotype, many Black students would work harder than expected evenwhen they do not feel well because they are not afforded the same level

The cohortstructure allows for close relationships to form, combatting the social isolation that historicallymarginalized students may feel in CS classes. Peer mentoring benefits students by offeringfurther academic, social, and professional development support within the program. Project-based learning provides strong ties to students’ major area(s) of study (primarily biology andbiochemistry) and supports students’ future success in fields that are becoming increasingly data-driven.1 Finally, the minor program courses focus
