Mentoring

  • If we breakdown the barriers, will this:

a)Increase participation? b)Increase persistence? c)Change the view of a scientist?

  • How do you do this?

Human-Centered Computing

  • What is HCC?
  • Human-Centered Computing (HCC) is focused on

understanding how to design, build and evaluate computational technologies as they relate to the human condition and how these technologies affect society.

  • We build innovative solutions to real world

problems by integrating people, technology, culture, policy, etc.

  • Let’s take a look at some of the work we do!

Summary

  • Breakdown the 7 barriers
  • Isolation, stereotypes, role models, helping

professions

  • Empower them to work on things important to them
  • Societal impacts, people, find their passion, etc.
  • Mentoring in all aspects of the PhD, academia, etc.
  • You can have a life and be a researcher too
  • Role models, provide examples, footprints in the

sand

  • Embrace differences, we are not all alike
