Outreach Encouraging Students to Pursue CS Careers

  • SWE Merit Certificate program for High Schoolers, 2017-2020
  • Saturday Academy ASE mentor for High Schoolers (2018 – 2020)
  • Participated as a mentor in the Hour of Code Workshops as part of the Nebraska Women in Science Conference (2015).
  • Founded and guiding the ACM-W chapter for Women in Computer Science in the Computer Science Department at UNL, 2015.
  • Designed and guided the implementation of Kinection – an application that allows users to paint (Jackson Pollock-style) by using gesture-detection software implemented through Microsoft Kinect. The objective of the application is to make science and art interesting to middle- and high-school students. The application was used as an interactive exhibit at the Sheldon Museum – a nationally accredited museum in Nebraska (June 2013), where it was very popular with youth and children. Since then, our department has showcased the application during recruitment activities. It has also been presented at the MINK WIC (Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas Women In Computing) event held in Kansas City (2013), at the UNL Middle School College Access outreach program (2014), and at the TEDxYouth program geared towards high school students in Lincoln. The application has also been requested to be showcased at the Walton School Art Show in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
