MS 152 SC - Navigating Digital Communities
In 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women; today, only 24% are women. The biggest drop off of girls’ participation in computer science occurs between the ages of 13 and 17. This course seeks to change this trend by setting up intergenerational mentorship teams made up of girls and other BIPOC pre-college youth, Scripps and other 5C students, and mentors in the fields of computational media and digital arts. Drawing upon the extensive resources of the Processing Foundation and the School of Poetic Computation and structured as a teaching practicum, students will explore digital pedagogy and curriculum development while gaining firsthand experience in navigating and building digital communities. Students will work directly with Pacific Islander focused groups such as, but not limited to PIEAM, Purple Maia, and Kamehameha Schools, and will participate in a 4 hour/week for 10 week practicum placement with one or two pre-college youth.
Prerequisite(s): Experience in digital art and computational media
Course Credit: 1.0
