Kari Santos听holds an MS in Information and Communication Technology for Development (the track was later renamed Social Impact) from ATLAS Institute's听Creative Technology and Design master's program. Before getting her graduate degree, she worked as a software engineer for more than 20 years. In this interview with re:think Magazine,听a thought leadership magazine from the听National Center for Women in Info Tech (NCWIT), Santos shares how her ICTD experience听shaped her future of teaching computer science to the next generation. While in the MS program, she created听a summer coding camp for middle-school girls, especially those from low-income families, which then paved the way for a master's practicuum focusing on code and curriculum for teaching computer science to girls. Santos听continues to teach computer science听through OutSchool, an online teaching platform.
