Over the past 2 years, we have collected post-course surveys from 399 students participating in the BJC course. This paper investigates how the responses of females and students from underrepresented racial minority groups (URMs) differed from those of their counterparts. We found that female students had taken fewer CS courses prior to BJC but that students from URMs had taken more prior CS courses. Both groups were nearly equally likely to recommend the course to a friend, with about 80% recommending. We found no evidence to suggest that female students showed more or less interest in specific CS topics, such as learning how computing has changed the world or making mobile apps/games. Despite having taken more CS courses prior to BJC, we found that students from URMs were overall less likely to intend to take additional CS courses. Overall, our findings are fairly consistent with the literature, and suggest that BJC makes some progress towards broadening participation in computing.}, booktitle={2015 Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT)}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Price, Thomas W. and Albert, Jennifer and Catete, Veronica and Barnes, Tiffany}, year={2015}, pages={1–4} } @article{albert_blanchard_wiebe_2015, title={How high school students construct or create animations about water boiling}, journal={Application of Visual Data in K-16 Science Classrooms}, author={Albert, J.
