ABSTRACT
The demand for computing professionals continues to grow, while women and minorities remain severely underrepresented at all levels. This opening SIGCSE 2013 keynote asks the crucial question "What can WE do to change the face of computing?"

Each speaker will take five minutes to share 20 slides (which automatically advance every 15 seconds) to provide a stimulating presentation that ends with "What can YOU do to change the face of computing?"
