The Summer Training Program on Responsible Computing Education will spread robust, quickly deployable responsible computing education to a more diverse range of schools. For ten days, a cohort of two- person interdisciplinary teams who teach at minority-serving institutions interested in building responsible computing curricula will learn about strategies used at other institutions. The program will provide opportunities to learn, discuss, and exchange educational and institutional know-how. Participants will develop concrete plans for programs suited for their own institutions.
The program will run from Sunday, July 21st through Wednesday, July 31st, 2024. Hosted at Northeastern University’s Boston Campus.
This program is generously funded by the Mozilla Foundation’s Responsible Computing Challenge.
