Discussion and understanding of obstacles to, and pedagogy supporting, efforts towards increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in K-12 CS education are critical and vital to the success of these efforts. It is important to ensure that in these discussions we elevate and honor the perspectives of those who are most impacted by a lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This panel will explore the lived experiences of youth in computer sciences classes during their K-12 educational journey. What was their experience of CS? What works in increasing DEI? What didn’t work? What would these students like to tell educators about being a minoritized student in these classes?
