Hi! I’m Katharine Childs and I’m a computing education researcher and a PhD student. I am also a volunteer with CSEd Botswana, helping bring computing to students in the Global South.

Here you can find out more about my work, including links to my publications and talks. I also share original blog posts about doctoral study and computing education research.
