Following this methodology, we prepared a stackmethods that encourage attention to fundamental concepts series of modules that are each designed to offer the studentsof computing might help alleviate some of the problems motivation, by way of a provocative STEM-talk introduction,encountered by novice programmers. This outreach therefore followed by multiple exposures to a single focal CS concept. Infocuses on CS concepts that are applicable to all programming the end, we opted for a two-day module length due to practicallanguages without burdening the students

of the Shifting Perceptions, Attitudes and Cultures in Engineering (SPACE) Lab that aspires to elevate the experiences of marginalized populations, dismantle systematic injustices, and transform the way inclusion is culti- vated in engineering through the implementation of novel technologies and methodologies in engineering education. Intrigued by the intersections of engineering education, mental health and social justice, Dr. Coley’s primary research interest focuses on virtual reality as a tool for developing empathetic and in- clusive mindsets among engineering faculty. She is also interested in hidden populations in engineering education and innovation for more inclusive pedagogies

andorganizations from public and private sectors with an established record of advancing Hispanicsin higher education. This is a holistic approach to broadening participation of Hispanics incomputing that is based on prior successes and a willingness to work collectively to enactsustained change through establishment of a common agenda. The agenda guides the vision andstrategy for collective impact, conducts data collection to longitudinally track student movementacross campuses, and launches regional pilots to test feasibility of the full-scale plan and processfor change.CAHSI believes that, in order to move the needle for Hispanics in higher education, efforts mustgo beyond simply telling faculty and staff about research-based approaches; CAHSI strives
