"Recognized for introducing women and other underrepresented minority groups to the tech field while strengthening enrollment and retention in computer science"
"Right up until my senior year, I was still talking to and doing projects with people I met in CS KickStart and I still consider them some of my good friends today. So beyond getting an intro to coding together, we’re all friends and we were able to support each other through a pretty male-dominated, intense line of study. "
"Through the program, [CS KickStart] strive[s] to give women a voice in shaping the future of technology, level the playing field in terms of academic and career opportunities, and benefit the field of computer science through the development of a talented and diverse workforce. "
