Guild workshop is based on a curriculum designed by the first and fifthauthors and is shown in Table 1. As illustrated, we included a number of exercises, topics, games,presentations, and opportunities for hands-on experience. The schedule was created such that allbasic technical skills were taught during the first two days of the workshop, and then on day 3 ofthe workshop, we included activities to help participants practice these skills.Our curriculum was devised to touch on interdisciplinary topics over different days, which couldappeal to a wide range of interests (i.e., art, music, community involvement). Examples of theseactivities included creating a self-portrait using programming, composing musical tunes withPython coding, and crowd

advancement of artificial intelligent technology, more and morepreviously unthinkable applications and services become possible. To meet this trend, more andmore new technical positions are created and are ready to be filled. Skilled and well-preparedengineers are highly demanded by such newly emerging positions. Computing programs in USuniversities cannot produce enough qualified graduates to fill these positions. To make theproblem even worse, computer programs suffer high dropout and failure rates, mainly due to thereason that students are unprepared and lose their interest in their entry-level courses[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. In fact, a significant shortage of skilled computer science graduates is observed andwill remain for the next decade [6, 7, 8]. The

For example, Team 1began by manually typing the census identifiers of interest to their project in a NumPy array of“magic numbers,” citing the specific rows in the dataset at which they found each of the values(Figure 3, Appendix A) (Kernighan & Ritchie, 1988). However, after receiving feedback fromthe instructors, the group rewrote their code in preparation for the R&R session, clearlydemonstrating their capacity for functional decomposition and strategic use of NumPy andPandas functions (Figure 4

Studies have shown that students who participate in REUs show increasedinterest in pursuing degrees and careers in the STEM fields [3]. REUs provide students withopportunities to develop skills valued by both graduate schools and employers, such as workingon challenging problems, presenting research to an audience, and communicating findingsthrough technical writing [3].While REUs have the potential to positively influence persistence in STEM fields, there areinequities in who gets to participate in these experiences. Questions have been raised as to whysome REU programs receive very few applications from students in
