Technology industries primarily strive for innovation and revenue, living by mantras such as "move fast, break things" and "fail fast, fail often." These industrial demands have molded computing education systems to focus on commercial values and overlook the impact of technology on individuals and societies. Author Eric Fan has the conviction that the issues of educational equity and social impact in computing education are just as foundational in his book The Inclusive Code.
The stories and lessons in The Inclusive Code apply to anyone interested in computer science education, diversity and inclusion, educational equity, or the social impact of computing. Taking a deep dive into the issues that face modern-day computing education systems, Fan poses concrete ideas and shares actionable stories to foster equity in these spaces.
The Inclusive Code addresses the following topics:
Providing students from diverse backgrounds access to study computer science Promoting inclusive and equitable learning experiences within computer science education Teaching the social impact of computing, including computer ethics, technological biases, and the accessibility of technology, in core computer science courses
As the world moves into the future, we must create a culture that prioritizes people and societies in computing education. Fan and The Inclusive Code can help us achieve this goal.
