Following Dr. Vouk’s presentation, we are excited to welcome Dr. Tiffany Barnes as our keynote speaker for Research Week at NC State. Dr. Barnes’ presentation will highlight her work to bring computer science education to teachers, schools and students across the U.S. — and continually improve equitable access to computer science education, development and research. Specifically, Dr. Barnes will explain the core design features of the STARS Computing Corps Alliance for Broadening Participation in Computing, which has been shown to increase intentions to persist in computing. Together with you, Dr. Barnes hopes to envision a future where every person can fully participate in our digital learning and knowledge spaces. This talk will focus on the importance of recognizing and highlighting the broader impact of your research. 

Dr. Barnes is a Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at North Carolina State University, and a Distinguished Member of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). In addition, Dr. Barnes is a Founding Co-Director of the STARS Computing Corps, a Broadening Participation in Computing Alliance funded by the U.S.A. National Science Foundation.
