@codeorg is trying to democratize computer science. Some good work is being done here. I wish there was greater representation of Black girls and boys coding.https://twitter.com/hadip/status/1102367752004657152 …

You’ll be happy to know 48% of the students on @codeorg are underrepresented students of color, which adds up to over 10 million young students of color. Check out http://Code.org/diversity for more info.

The plan seems to be a Diversity Advisory Council and lecturers from different ethnic/racial backgrounds. Boilerplate. Did the org consult any Black, Latinx, etc. CS educators & professors who teach to marginalized communities? I don’t see myself represented.

Great question. Our work is done by ~1M teachers. *They* are the face of CS in their classrooms, in ~1/3 of US schools. Our teachers represent every race, gender, and walk, of life. The majority are women. Their results: nearly-balanced representation of students by race.pic.twitter.com/OaCqBatHmT
