Abstract: This paper proposes an innovative approach to addressing the lack of diversity in software engineering education by integrating non-STEM students into mobile app development programs. Leveraging the Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) methodology, this idea paper explores how targeted instructional strategies and preparatory leveling sessions can empower students from diverse academic backgrounds to succeed in highly technical environments. By breaking traditional barriers to programming education, this approach fosters an inclusive learning environment that enhances technical skills and encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation. We present the conceptual framework and practical implications of this inclusive model, offering insights into how this approach can be adopted across different educational settings to promote diversity and innovation in software engineering.
