Christina Zdawczyk was recently featured in an article by the La Cañada Valley Sun Times for her grant from the National Science Foundation. Her award will help further her work on the effects of specific programming languages on learning, sense of belonging and interest in computer science with an emphasis on female and minority students.
“It goes beyond teaching programming (and) provides kids with a different way to think about the world,” Zdawczyk’s advisor Dr. Keisha Varma told the Sun Times. “She’s allowing herself to think broadly about big ideas and will be doing it as part of an elite cohort of fellows.”
