Growing up, America didn’t see people who looked like her in computer science. According to the Kapor Foundation Latine in Tech Ecosystem Report, Latine talent makes up only 6% of tech roles despite Latine individuals representing 19% of the U.S. population. She didn’t know much about computer science when she joined SMASH, but that quickly changed. "When you think about [computer science], you don’t think of people of color being in that field because it’s pretty dominated by white people. But seeing others my age and of similar backgrounds— it felt nice. It gave me hope that one day, when I go into the field, I can open doors for people who look like me." Through SMASH, America has not only gained knowledge in computer science but has also been empowered to envision a future where she is creating space for others from underrepresented communities. SMASH allowed her to see what’s possible when technology embraces diversity.
