AAAS evaluates NSF BPC Alliances

The American Association for the Advancement of Science has just released their report evaluating the NSF Broadening Participation in Computing alliances, including our own “Georgia Computes!”

“Telling the Stories of the BPC Alliances: How One NSF Program Is Changing the Face of Computing” was released online this week. The report states that while the number of students pursuing computer science degrees has declined nationally, institutions participating in the NSF Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program “are defying the national trends … with cohorts of underserved students being reached, gaining confidence and skills, and making progress towards degrees and careers in computing.”
