Dr. Nina Bresnihan (Lead PI) and Louise Caldwell (Programme Manager) will discuss how Parental involvement in Computer Science Education is crucial to promoting participation and greater diversity in STEM. In particular, they will describe how the RI-funded OurKidsCode Project has leveraged Parental Involvement to develop a successful model for the provision of informal computing education in rural areas and explore how the project has addressed the urban-rural digital divide through the development of self-sustaining family-led creative coding clubs embedded within local communities.
