About Us
Origins and a Name Change
We hosted our first meet-up at CSTA 2022 in Chicago. Originally, our name was AAPI Affinity Group. In Spring 2025, we wanted to include our Native Hawaiian family by changing our name to AANHPI Affinity Group. The AANHPI diaspora includes a variety of ethnicities, languages, and cultural backrounds. Some of us share similar journeys that have led us outside of our ancestral homelands, but we all have in common a need to build community amongst ourselves and to support AANHPI students in accessing equitable computer science education where themselves represented and believe that they can succeed in this industry.
