The Colorado School of Mines proposes a project to develop CONNECT (Creating Open Networks aNd Expanding Connections with Technology), a tool that provides networking assistance for attendees of conferences aimed at broadening participation. Attendees at such conferences as the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, the Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, and the Colorado Celebration of Women in Computing, for example, consistently state that networking is an extremely valuable component of the conference. Professional networking is particularly important to underrepresented populations, as barriers to participation include a lack of mentors and the feeling of isolation that one doesn't belong. CONNECT uses technology to help BPC conference attendees develop a support network at the conference and, more importantly, sustain those connections after the conference ends. With CONNECT, attendees of a conference set networking goals prior to the event. Then, when two (or more) people want to CONNECT and exchange contact information, conference badges are scanned. CONNECT attendees also receive networking tips, a daily progress email that details which of their networking goals are being met, and suggestions on the types of people to try and meet the next day. At the end of the conference, contact information of the connections made by an attendee is shared. Feedback from an initial pilot of the system will be used to significantly improve upon the CONNECT system, adding, for example, the development of stationary CONNECT stations that do not require personnel to oversee, the ability to make a connection by transmitting a text message from a cell phone, which avoids the need to scan badges, the integration of connections with other social network systems, a face-to-face mentoring opportunity at the conference venue, a networking game component that can be used as an icebreaker, and the facilitation of forming BPC communities of individuals that share common interests. The CONNECT system will be deployed and evaluated at several different types of BPC conferences and meetings.

科罗拉多州矿业学校提出了一个开发连接的项目（创建开放网络并扩展与技术的联系），该工具为旨在扩大参与的会议的与会者提供网络帮助。例如，参加计算机上的女性庆祝活动，理查德·塔皮亚（Richard Tapia）的计算多样性庆祝活动以及科罗拉多州妇女在计算机上的庆祝活动等会议的与会者，例如，始终说明网络是该会议的极其有价值的组成部分。专业网络对于人群不足的人群尤为重要，因为参与的障碍包括缺乏导师和不属于的孤立感。 Connect使用技术来帮助BPC会议参与者在会议上建立支持网络，更重要的是，会议结束后维持这些联系。与Connect一起，活动开始前会议设定网络目标的与会者。然后，当两个（或更多）人想连接和交换联系信息时，会扫描会议徽章。 Connect参与者还会收到网络提示，每日进度电子邮件，详细介绍他们的网络目标正在满足哪些目标，以及有关第二天尝试满足的人的建议。会议结束时，共享了与会者建立的联系的联系信息。最初来自系统试验器的反馈将用于显着改善连接系统，例如，增加了不需要人员来监督人员的静止连接站的发展，通过从手机传输文本消息来建立连接的能力，避免需要扫描徽章，与其他社交网络的连接相结合，可以在界面上进行连接，并在界面上进行界限，以构成界限，以构成界限，构成界面的界面，并构成界限，构成一个会议式的会议，会遇到一个会议，并在会议上，构成了一个会议式的会议，会遇到一个会议，并在会议上，构成了一个会议式的会议，这是一个会议式的会议，这是一个会议式的会议，这是一个会议式的会议，这是一个界限以及促进具有共同利益的个人的BPC社区。连接系统将在几种不同类型的BPC会议和会议上部署和评估。
