title = "{\textquotedblleft}Growing as a Person{\textquotedblright}: Authoring Identity Across Formal CS Education and Everyday Computing Contexts",
abstract = "To understand how learners develop identities in computer science (CS), we must investigate learners' experiences with computing throughout their lives. Drawing from a theory of learning as participation in communities of practice, we analyze interviews with high school students at the end of their time in a 2-year, constructionist CS course to better understand how these students' CS education affected their experiences with computing in their everyday lives. We identify moments where students begin to {\textquotedblleft}re-see{\textquotedblright} technology which offer insight into how students author their computational identities. However, our analysis reveals that re-seeing does not inevitably align with a positive trajectory of participation in CS. Instead, we discuss how the nuances of students' {\textquotedblleft}re-seeing{\textquotedblright} experiences combine with various social factors to influence students' computational identity authorship.",
