Broadening Participation in Computing State Summit Toolkit
The following description is from the NCWIT and ECEP toolkit:
Advancing K-16 computing education in a state is a complex and collaborative endeavor. Computing education state summits are an important part of this process and can help to develop and advance a state’s strategy both for expanding computing education access and for broadening participation in computing (BPC). In particular, summits can promote equity and democratize change efforts by giving voice to all stakeholders in a collaborative and action oriented environment. This toolkit was created through a partnership between the Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance and the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), with both organizations focused on BPC as NSF-funded organizations.
