The initial network contained6,186 nodes and 49,289 edges, making it too large for meaningful analysis. To examine thecore collaboration network, we removed all nodes and edges not connected to the largestconnected component, resulting in a single connected network spanning the university. Thisrefined network was visualized using the sfdp [26] layout algorithm, with nodes colored redfor faculty and green for other researchers. The resulting graph serves as a snapshot of theUniversity of Arizona’s collaboration network and forms the basis for subsequent

Dwight and Chopper shared the sameview as Felicia, who stated that they associate creative people with the arts. “As far as when I describe people as creative, I am not like those people… it's often someone that is very into the arts… My first instinct is to link creativity with artistic, but that’s not necessarily the case all the time, but that's where my mind immediately goes to.” — FeliciaHowever, after a series of follow-up

reported low percentage of high schools who offer CS courses.For example, in California [10], only 39% of the high schools offer CS courses. Some reasons forthis include the lack of rigorous CS teacher preparation [10], limited resources to expand CS ed-ucation capacity [11], and research gaps in analyzing efficacy of CS education at the high schoollevel. Initiatives like “AI4K12” and “AI4ALL” are aligned with this need.AI programs for high school students: Educators and professionals have taught AI to high schoolstudents at various levels, scales, and duration [12, 13].

Furthermore, academic systems tend tovalue quantifiable results like publications and future grants, which may be at odds with the needsof the community being engaged; within the academic system, this lack of quantifiable output canbe problematic, as Summer noted: “So from a perspective of the university it’s like, ‘Oh, therewas no output to this research.’” (p. 10)Tara (Engineering)Tara’s

Because of the increasing number of women joining the work force overthe years; the gender effect on team performance has received attention. The results of previousstudies have been conflicting because some researchers have found homogeneous teams to bemore productive, whereas others have found the opposite to be true. Moreover, a recent studyfound the gender to be an insignificant variable for its effect on the performance of productdesign teams [3].
