February marks Black History Month, a time to highlight accomplishments of the Black community and an opportunity to celebrate leaders who have made impactful innovations in STEM.
While we celebrate these incredible leaders, it’s important to recognize that Black workers are still very under-represented in STEM fields. In addition, students from marginalized racial and ethnic groups, students in Title I schools, and students from rural areas are less likely to attend a school that provides access to computer science education.
In the 2020 State of Computer Science Education report, several research firms analyzed data from all 50 states to provide state by state data on policy trends, maps, state-by-state summaries, and implementation data. North Carolina’s report can be found here.
Key highlights of North Carolina’s report:
Digi-Bridge is proud to partner with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and the office of Title 1 and Career and Technical Education to offer enrichment opportunities in computer science. In March, students in our STEAMLab program will engage in a curriculum focused on arts, data and technology. Additionally, our competition robotics and programming teams learn coding through robotics application. It is a priority for us to continue to highlight Black mentors and role models in STEM so our Black students can learn from these individuals.
