Google wants to help change the way computer science is depicted in the media, so the company is funding a new grant for screenwriters.

The company has teamed up with The Black List, a site that lets filmmakers share their scripts online, to look for three writers to create screenplays or teleplays that "changes the image of computer science or computer scientists, [particularly] as it applies to women and minorities."

Each will be awarded up to $15,000 and have six months to work on their projects.
