Dr Bresnihan will discuss how Parental involvement in Computer Science Education is crucial to promoting participation and greater diversity in STEM. In particular, she will describe how the RI-funded OurKidsCode Project has leveraged Parental Involvement to develop a successful model for the provision of informal computing education in rural areas and explore how the project has addressed the urban-rural digital divide through the development of self-sustaining family-led creative coding clubs embedded within local communities.
