Drawing from our two-year ethnography, we juxtapose the experiences of two cohorts in one culturally responsive computing program, examining how the program fostered girls’ emerging identities as technosocial change agents.

Ultimately, we illustrate how these findings can enhance anthropological research and practice in youth identity, culturally responsive pedagogies, and computing education.

... We designed this workshop with a critical orientation toward computing and provided youth with computation and narrative tools for interrogating cultural and political ideologies regarding what CS is, who can participate in CS, and how CS is done. Given that computing stereotypes, classrooms, and technologies can reproduce dominant narratives that alienate youth from various minoritized communities (Ashcraft et al., 2017;Cheryan et al., 2009), we designed and facilitated learning activities for Black and Brown youth to draw upon their lived experiences and newly learned computational content and skills in order to design interactive quilt patches that reimagine dominant narratives of CS. Addressing the first restorying practice of "Presenting the realities of one's everyday world," youth in our workshop compiled Word Clouds that asked "Who do you imagine has been included in computer science historically?" ...
