Google is looking for movie and television scripts that help portray computer science (and the traditional “nerdy” computer scientist stereotype) in a more positive, attractive light. With this initiative, Google is looking to attract underrepresented groups like women and minorities into the computer science field.
From the site:
This project is part of an initiative from Google’s Computer Science Education in Media program to encourage and inspire young people, especially girls and minorities — who historically have been underrepresented in the field — to not only use technology but also to create it.
The contest runs through July 15. Learn more at the link below:
