Routt Catholic High School has earned the College Board AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in its Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles class.
“During an unprecedented year, our female students have demonstrated perseverance and dedication in their study of AP Computer Science,” Routt principal Nick Roscetti said. “We could not be more proud of them for staking their claim as the next generation of STEM and computer science professionals. We can’t wait to see their passion for next-generation technology lead to lifelong success.”

Teen wins honor by combining her interests in softball, computer science [Portland Press Herald, Maine]
Dec. 21 As a softball player, Elena Miller understood the value and purpose of the scorebook to keep track of the many factors that determine individual and team success during a game.
But when Miller first tried to “keep the book” herself, “it took quite a bit of time to learn how to do it and I needed a lot of help and then I was trying to teach teammates and saw how confusing it was.”
That’s when Miller’s athletic and academic interests crossed paths, prompting her to create a computer application app, for short called Scoregenix that helps to make scoring a game easier and more intuitive.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ New research shows increasing diversity in Advanced Placement (AP) computer science four years after the launch of AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP). In 2016, College Board, with significant support from the National Science Foundation, launched AP CSP to address a well-documented shortage of women and students of color studying science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in high school and college and ultimately pursuing STEM careers. This foundational course was designed to change the invitation to computer science education and engage traditionally underrepresented students.
