How I use Taylor Swift in my computer science classroom to shake off stereotypes + promote belonging + cultivate community.

No matter if you're a die-hard Swiftie or have a blank space when it comes to her music, this session offers fresh & engaging approaches to enrich the CS classroom experience for *all* students.
