b) -What new ideas did you get that extended or broadened your thinking in new directions?

This study really opened my eyes to how implicit bias works and how you dont even notice it.
For example, I am actively persuading my audience and consciously believe that women are
equally capable and belong just as much as men in the computer science and engineering field.
My unconscious bias, however, still leans to a slight unconscious association of men and science
and women and liberal arts. I think that this will be very good to explain to the audience that you
cant change your implicit bias, but you can work to not let it influence you and your opinions.

and some of the beginning elements of Java that has been successful for teaching middle schoolers
in the past. It includes an overview of middle school after school CS classes that I can use to
model my own classes.

The results, however, indicated significant differences between boys and girls around two
constructs: computer confidence and gender equity (see Table 6). Regarding computer
confidence, boys appeared more confident in their computing skills compared to girls in the
post-administration of the survey. Regarding gender equity, girls exhibited significantly more
positive attitudes in both the pre-administration and the post-administration of the survey.

the majority of students were able to exhibit good computational practices associated with code
organization and documentation and to develop user-friendly programs with smooth functionality.
Importantly, our findings indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in learning
and using CS concepts among boys and girls.

Equitable CS practices have the potential to level the playing field among boys and girls. Our
findings did indicate that boys exhibited higher confidence in their computing skills than girls, but
this finding is consistent with other work showing that boys have higher confidence in computing
than girls (Ericson & McKlin, 2012; Margolis & Fisher, 2002). On a more positive note, our findings
also indicated that girls exhibited stronger attitudes toward gender equity, indicating that they felt
confident about their abilities to succeed in computing in the same way as boys do.

To become well-educated citizens in an increasingly computing-driven world and be prepared for

the demands of the 21st-century economy, students must develop a deeper understanding of the
fundamentals of CS (Wilson et al., 2010). In this work, we presented one approach to helping
students acquire foundational CS concepts in an after-school program designed as part of a
school-university partnership. After-school programs present the first glimmer of opportunity to
 explore CS concepts among middle school students, and pedagogy within those programs is key
to broadening participation of females and other underrepresented minorities in computing
(Repenning et al., 2015).
