I coordinate a number of outreach activities for the School of Computer Science. These outreach activities are targeted at expanding participation of underrepresented groups in computer science. I have designed and run introduction to programming and computational thinking workshops using MIT Scratch for the Women in Engineering and Computing Career Day and the Girls Inc. Eureka! Summer Program since 2013. Workshop materials and links to Scratch projects for several events are available below.
