About
Denis A. Linzmeyer is a researcher dedicated to broadening participation in computer science by leveraging unconventional, creative entry points. His work challenges the traditional reliance on video games and robotics as primary “hooks,” arguing these often fail to attract students without a pre-existing interest in computing. Instead, Linzmeyer’s research focuses on the powerful intersection of music and technology. In his highly influential 2023 case study, "Inspiring Interest in Computing using Music," he demonstrated how music-based computing activities can effectively engage students who lack prior music education, opening a new pathway into the field. This paper, which has garnered significant attention with 2 citations in a short time, exemplifies his core contribution: designing inclusive, accessible CS learning experiences that resonate with diverse audiences. By centering creativity and self-expression, Linzmeyer’s work is reshaping how educators think about recruitment and retention in computer science, making the discipline more welcoming for all learners.
