Mission: Reinventing computer science in public schools by motivating & educating all students including women and underrepresented communities to learn about computer science through game design starting at the middle school level.
Results: The project aimed at instructing 1200 students in 3 years but exceeded expectations by instructing over 8,000 students; 45% of the students were girls, 64% of the girls want to continue! research summary...
