这个闪电谈话描述了通过短期夏令营计划让K12学生接触计算机科学的好处。CS@SC夏令营（http：summercamps.usc.edu）与教育研究所共同创立，为女孩，少数民族和低收入的K12学生提供机会，通过夏季举办的为期一周的夏令营学习计算机科学。现在，在我们的第三年，营地已经给了近1500名学生在南加州大学校园内一个星期的经验，改变教室，在宿舍食堂吃饭，看到大学生在他们的自然环境，并从当前的计算机科学专业学习。学生通过编程平台学习计算机科学，包括Scratch Jr。（K-2）、Scratch（3 - 8）、Java（7 - 12）和Python（7 - 12）。这些营地是免费提供的，或根据个人和组织的捐赠降低费用。通过营地调查，学生对STEM领域的兴趣从大约50%的学生高度感兴趣提高到营地结束时的80%以上。虽然夏令营只有32小时长，但早期接触计算机科学可以为所有种族（近75%的与会者是西班牙裔或非洲裔美国人）和性别（47%的与会者是女孩）的学生提供所需的基础，为他们做出关于STEM职业的明智决定做好准备。
This lightning talk describes the benefits of exposing K12 students to Computer Science through short camp programs. The CS@SC Summer Camps (http://summercamps.usc.edu), founded jointly with the Institute for Education, provide girls, minorities, and low-income K12 students with an opportunity to learn about Computer Science through one week camps held during summer. Now in our third year, the camps have given nearly 1500 students the experience of being in college for a week on campus at the University of Southern California, changing classrooms, eating at the dormitory cafeteria, seeing college students in their natural environment, and learning from current Computer Science majors. Students learn about Computer Science through programming platforms, including Scratch Jr. (K-2nd), Scratch (3rd-8th), Java (7th-12th), and Python (7th-12th). The camps are provided for free or reduced cost based on donations from individuals and organizations. Through camp surveys, student interest in STEM fields raises from around 50% of students highly interested to over 80% by the end of the camp. Although the camp is only 32 hours long, early exposure to Computer Science can provide students of all ethnicities (nearly 75% of the attendees are Hispanic or African American) and genders (47% of the attendees are girls) with the foundation needed to prepare them for making an educated decision about STEM careers.
