1 Introduction & Community Consciousness

Why is diversity and inclusivity important to Computer Science?
First of all, diversity is important to Computer Science because it may lead to innovation. By
comparing diverse teams to other tech industry teams, we found out that diverse teams have more
possibilities in considering wide ranges of perspectives and developing unique solutions to problems.
Second, inclusivity, or inclusion, is important to Computer Science because it creates accessible and
welcoming learning environments for students, regardless of their identity, background, and
perspectives. What’s more, inclusivity will increase creativity, income, connection, and ultimately
better projects that fit people globally.
Overall, diversity and inclusivity is important to Computer Science because diversity may lead to
innovation and its corresponding team have more potential in considering wide ranges of
perspectives and developing unique solutions to problems, while inclusivity creates accessible and
welcoming learning environments for students’ identity, background and perspectives without and
barriers and judgements, and it will also increase creativity, income, connection, and ultimately
better projects that fit all kinds of people.
