Jefferson was a recipient of the AP CS Female Diversity Award from the College Board. [A] noticeable difference is that before, the students who did the whole four year sequence of computer science in TJ were students who knew, coming in, that they wanted to study computer science, former computer science teacher Ms. Ria Galanos said. Now, thats different. [Their elective choices] change from what they thought [they would be] six months ago, as they [realize], ‘Oh, I really do like this, and I had no idea I would’. That says a lot for the foundations teachers–theyre really encouraging [students with all types of] career aspirations. We dont expect people to become software engineers. We want some of them to become software engineers, but we also want them to become journalists, doctors, and lawyers.”
