session.INTRODUCTIONStorytelling has pedagogical importance in education and has long been used in the classroom.Back when science was being developed and passed along Aristotle and his peers used thespoken word, i.e. stories to teach all that they knew. Medical education has long realized thesignificance of stories and anecdotes and more recently articles show the practice in computerscience education. Christos Papadimitriou an electrical engineer argues that “Stories are in acertain intrinsic sense interesting, in that they are attractive, high-priority memory fodder.Everything else being equal, we are much more likely to remember a story than a logicalargument.” Now think about our typical student of today. In particular, the under-representedstudents need a format

It also reviews qualitative data collectedover the period from 2015 to 2022. The qualitative results show that literature reinforceswhat industry has been saying for the past decade.

These inequities often mean women areburdened with the “menial tasks” of projects [1], thus undermining the message thatcommunication is as essential as technical work. Despite the field’s acknowledgments thatcommunication and teamwork skills are essential, technical skills are still more highly valued,and women are often asked to take up more management and communication tasks and blockedfrom the technical [2]. In fact, studies have found that these divisions often lead women inparticular to leave engineering: while making up 20% of all engineering graduates, “nearly
