These preconceived ideas may discourage students, especially women and minorities, from pursuing a computer science education. Our goal is to create a program that dispels these misconceptions, both in inner city middle and high schools and in an outreach program that attracts at-risk students to Lehigh University to learn about information technology. A curriculum that uses Flash programming helps to dispel these misconceptions and bring more minority and female high school students back into the pipeline of potential computer scientists.
