Overview

Responsible Computing naturally lends itself to student teams: since responsible computing topics involve complex societal issues, students appreciate the nuances better if they work through them in a team. This leads to the first kind of student teams we consider in this section: teams of students taking a course where they are tasked with a project with responsible computing content. On the other side, once undergraduate students have had some experience with responsible computing content, they are potentially excellent ambassadors of spreading the light of responsible computing among their peers. One specific mechanism for this, which we also consider in this section, is student teams working on creating responsible computing material that may be included into computing courses.
