BRIGHT-CS is a system learning ecosystem. It is not a one-off hackathon or coding camp, where impacts can fade over time. Instead, BRIGHT-CS brings together a comprehensive set of in-school, afterschool, and summertime experiences that connect students, parents, schools, and community members to create an environment wherein culturally and linguistically diverse students are empowered to pursue their interests in computer science. Computer science and computational thinking are taught as tools for girls to access and expand their interests in fields applicable to CS/CT.
