虽然编程竞赛和黑客马拉松的数量在稳步增加，但很少有女性参与。由于这些公共活动为扩大计算机领域的参与提供了可行的机会，我们在一个名为“StitchFest”的硬件黑客马拉松中设计了以“穿戴与关爱”为主题以及合作安排的活动，其中33名本科生和研究生使用LilyPad Arduino设计可穿戴设备。我们的分析侧重于对8名女大学生和7名男大学生参与者进行的访谈，以了解有针对性的招募、主题框架、空间安排、材料种类和材料分配如何影响参与度和认知。我们讨论了在编程竞赛中设定主题焦点和促进协作学习以扩大计算机领域参与度方面所学到的经验。
While coding competitions and hackathons have steadily increased in number, few women participate. Because these public events present viable opportunities to broaden participation in computing, we designed the theme to focus on "Wear & Care" and collaborative arrangements in a hardware hackathon, called StitchFest, in which 33 undergraduate and graduate students used the LilyPad Arduino to design wearables. Our analysis focused on the interviews conducted with eight female and seven male college participants to understand how targeted recruitment, thematic framing, space arrangements, kinds of materials and material distribution impacted participation and perception. We discuss what we learned about setting a thematic focus and fostering collaborative learning in coding competitions for broadening participation in computing.
