The tech talent pipeline starts early with the development of math and computational thinking skills and building interest in computing fields...and so do disparities in access and outcomes.
In higher education, a variety of barriers affect the preparation, interest, motivation, and persistence of students in computing, resulting in wide gaps by gender and race/ethnicity in Bachelor’s degree completion.
Cumulative economic barriers and biases in entrepreneurship pathways affect the opportunities for diverse entrepreneurs to launch products and companies and invest in revenue-generating and social impact ventures.
