Broadening participation in computer science to a more diverse set of students requires more than just offering a great course that uses social impact to highlight the relevance of what you’re teaching. It takes a focused effort within the culture of your whole school to change students’ perceptions of what CS is about — and about who computer scientists are!

CSP4HS created some videos that touch on how Global Impact can help you recruit:

• Recruiting for CS Principles
• Impact and Opportunities in Computing
• Recruiting Women and Underrepresented Minorities (extended presentation)
• Undergrad Interview Series on Recruitment

Here’s a few other general resources to get you started:

• AP CSP recruiting tips from the College Board, along with some great references for further reading
• Discussions, webinars, and links on recruiting from members of the CS for All Teachers community
• Guides and Top-Tens on diversity-oriented recruiting from the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT)
