Will's Alan Turing Project

Out in California, Will and El (aka "Jane" to her classmates) have to give diorama presentations on their heroes. While we don't see Will's whole presentation, we do catch a glimpse of his poster and who he's picked as his hero: Alan Turing, the British codebreaking and mathematics genius who worked to break the infamous "Enigma" code during World War II. Turing was also famous for the devastating way he was treated as a gay man — another hint among others scattered throughout the season that Will, too, is questioning his sexuality.
