Abstract | The unexamined power and prejudice embedded within technologies and societies has led to direct harm to individuals of color, minoritized groups, and the US ideal of a multi-racial democracy. Rather than an accident of AI or a "glitch" of the system, these inequities highlight the invisible and oppressive architecture -- a "New Jim Code" (Benjamin, 2019) -- encoded into the bones of the technology. At the same time, computer science education has grown considerably over the last decade. We ask "how can educators address embedded injustice within the K-12 CS education?" Using "information asymmetry" (Hippel, 2005) as a conceptual framing, we argue for the need to address racialized and patriarchal biases through curricular design and teaching in CS. We argue for a participatory and community centered approach to CS curricula which facilitates community co-designed CS, centers criticality, and fosters civic education within CS. (As Provided). |
