Some contributors are education scholars and some are computer scientists, but others describe how they connect students of color with technology in the context of other disciplines. They describe the new CS For All initiative and what it means for creating equity and access in the K-18 educational system. They also identify current efforts across the US to engage students of color in the critical paradigm shift from being a consumer of technology to being producers of technology--the ultimate goal for 21st-century education in the US.
