本文跟踪了一个小型文科学院的计算外展计划的五年增长和当前轨迹。该计划为有才华的高中生提供了更多的机会，让他们比目前的HS课程更深入地体验计算。这种推广从一个天真的初始前提演变成一个本科计算机科学系和当地中学之间的互利互动。在该计划的可持续性最重要的因素是在高中的行政支持联络。我们希望我们学到的经验教训将有助于其他CS部门制定可持续的推广计划。
This paper tracks the five-year growth and current trajectory of a computational outreach program at a small, liberal-arts college. The program has enhanced opportunities for talented high-school students to experience computation more deeply than their HS curriculum currently offers. This outreach evolved from a naive initial premise into a mutually beneficial interaction between an undergraduate computer science department and a local secondary school. The most important factor in the program's sustainability is a supportive liaison within the high school's administration. We hope the lessons we have learned will help other CS departments develop sustainable outreach programs.
