- CompSci has 150 ish principles students. Describe a crowdsource idea and how you might initiate it in our environment?
- What about Del Norte crowdsourcing? Could your project be better with crowdsourcing?
- What kind of data could you capture at N@tM to make evening interesting? Perhaps use this data to impress Teachers during finals week.
5.3 Summary
What is bias in computing? A computer algorithm or software that unfairly favors one input or population over another is said to have computing bias. This can have happened accidentally or on purpose. The HP facial recognition algorithm, which performs better on those with lighter skin tones, is one illustration of computational prejudice. This is probably due to a lack of experience working with persons who have darker skin tones.
5.4 Summary
Not made intentionally, Because it was created using only data from white people, it can only identify white faces. If everyone had access to computers, issues like this may not arise as frequently, which is another argument for closing the digital divide. This has to be fixed because, in addition to excluding black people from something that only white people have (segregation), you are also losing a sizable market segment.

CompSci has 150 ish principles students. Describe a crowdsource idea and how you might initiate it in our environment?
We could develop a platform for coding homework assistance given the high number of computer science students we have. When we are stuck on a particular assignment, we may ask others to email us the relevant sections of their functioning code, post it on the platform, and provide an explanation of the code. We would have the ability to query and be questioned.
What about Del Norte crowdsourcing? Could your project be better with crowdsourcing?
Our project could be better with crowdsourcing because our website is based on helping people adopt dogs and find a furry friend and by having many people use our website we are able to store reviewes and be able to reflect on this and renew our website to our best version.
What kind of data could you capture at N@tM to make evening interesting? Perhaps use this data to impress Teachers during finals week.
During N@tM, we could ask students, parents, and teachers to use our website. And we can be able to make a review page and show what they disliked and liked. In addition, we can ask users to comment on any ideas to grow our site for next year. They can comment what they liked, what they think we should improve, and ideas for any additions.
