One of the biggest challenges to achieving equity, diversity, and social impact in computing is how we engage with traditionally underrepresented populations in the field. Associate Professor Betsy DiSalvo is the principal investigator on the DataWorks project, a program that has brought employment and engagement to non-data scientists. In this episode, we’ll discuss the accomplishments of DataWorks, explore how it engages those without a background in computational thinking, and how it improves our pursuit of equity in computing.
