Diversity Luncheon & Program
summary
A documentary called CODE surfaces a concrete claim: lack of exposure and implicit bias—not merit—drive underrepresentation in computing. Targets and remedies are specific: Girls Who Code: $250k → $15M, 80 → 10,000 alumni shows scale from a summer immersion; university fixes work too—UW interventions: 13% → 33–35%, 58% of grads weren’t initially interested—by changing first-course projects and personal outreach. Campaigns like #ILookLikeAnEngineer, coding playdates, Khan Academy and implicit-bias training are named tactics that measurably increase participation.
