STARS BPC Braintrust Seminars
The STARS BPC Seminars is a webinar discussion series hosted by the STARS BPC Alliance on key topics pertaining to STARS and the collective work we do to broaden participation in computing. We bring people together to showcase experiences, share expertise, build capacity for BPC, and catalyze empirical research in broadening participation in computing. We address challenges to improve diversity, equity and inclusion across the computing education pipeline from K12- to college, university- and the professoriate. These seminars are invitation only, and the recordings are open to the public. They are designed for current (and aspiring!) computing students, researchers, faculty, and teachers. Request an invitation to join live (from within each scheduled webinar below) or view from the archives.
