This work presents a study investigating social and curricular factors that lead to student retention and attrition in introductory Computer Science at UC Berkeley. CS10 and CS61A are identified as critical gateway classes in the curricula pipeline. To address the impedance match between the performance of CS10 students in CS61A, a new curricula Data Science unit, with a culturally-relevant learning experience, has been created for CS10. Prelimi- nary results show agreement with theoretical predictions and significant improvement over previous efforts. The central argument of this work is the belief that historically under- represented students in Computer Science increase their affinity for and ability to persist in Computer Science classes
