What does is it mean for girls of color to become technosocial change agentsindividuals who fuse technological savvy with a deep understanding of society in order to analyze and confront inequality?Kimberly A. Scott explores this question and others as she details the National Science Foundationfunded enrichment project COMPUGIRLS. This groundbreaking initiative teaches tech skills to adolescent girls of color but, as importantly, offers a setting that emphasizes empowerment, community advancement, and selfdiscovery. Scott draws on her experience as an architect of COMPUGIRLS to detail the difficulties of translating participants' lives into a digital context while tracing how the program evolved. The dramatic stories of the participants show them blending newly developed technical and communication skills in ways designed to spark effective action and bring about important change.A compelling merger of theory and storytelling, COMPUGIRLS provides a muchneeded roadmap for understanding how girls of color can find and define their selves in today's digital age.
