学校课程几乎没有直接的计算机科学（CS）内容，学生调查证实，学生几乎不知道CS是什么。各大学已采取一系列措施来解决这一问题，从而吸引更多的CS学生。本文介绍了计算机科学内部...该项目就是这样一个举措，其主要目标是提供中学课堂使用的教材，并激励教师提供教材，使他们做好准备。这些材料主要是研讨会，将在远离机器的地方进行，并提出支持无处不在的IT产品（如移动的电话或互联网）的关键CS概念。所有材料都可在网上查阅，以鼓励学者、学生或教师广泛提供。我们的评估表明，这一办法取得了广泛成功，并突出了今后工作的方向。
School curricula contain little direct Computer Science (CS) content, and pupil surveys confirm that pupils have little idea what CS is. A range of initiatives have been introduced by universities to address this problem, and so attract more CS students. This paper presents the Computer Science Inside... project, one such initiative, the primary goals of which are to provide materials for use in secondary school classrooms, and to motivate and prepare the teachers to deliver them. The materials are principally workshops, to be conducted away from machinery and which bring out key CS concepts underpinning ubiquitous IT products such as the mobile phone or internet. All materials are available on the web, to encourage delivery widely by academics, students or teachers. Our evaluation has shown the approach to be broadly successful, and has also highlighted directions for future work.
