本文介绍了一门计算机科学课程，该课程使用服务学习作为工具来实现一系列教学和 BPC（扩大计算参与）目标：(1) 吸引多元化的学生群体，并让他们接触年轻学生，以帮助建立多元化的计算机科学管道；(2) 使用体验式技术培养领导力和团队技能；(3) 培养学生与计算机科学的成功和保留相关的态度。首先，我们描述该课程以及它是如何设计的，以将良好的实践融入服务学习中。然后，我们报告初步结果，显示该课程对所有教学目标产生积极影响，并讨论结果对扩大计算参与的影响。
This article describes a computer science course that uses service learning as a vehicle to accomplish a range of pedagogical and BPC (broadening participation in computing) goals: (1) to attract a diverse group of students and engage them in outreach to younger students to help build a diverse computer science pipeline, (2) to develop leadership and team skills using experiential techniques, and (3) to develop student attitudes associated with success and retention in computer science. First, we describe the course and how it was designed to incorporate good practice in service learning. We then report preliminary results showing a positive impact of the course on all pedagogical goals and discuss the implications of the results for broadening participation in computing.
