1.摘要针对有关全国CS本科课程招生人数下降的报道[2]，2006年开始在卡内基梅隆大学举办名为CS4HS(高中计算机科学)的研讨会，以解决这一问题。[1]该研讨会为高中教师提供了课程材料和信息，以向他们的学生展示CS的广度和应用，希望这将有助于提高高中生在进入大学后对计算作为一种潜在途径的兴趣。2007年，讲习班的范围扩大到包括另外两所大学：加州大学洛杉矶分校和华盛顿大学。每所大学的研讨会都有不同的教师目标受众。在这次特别会议中，各大学的组织者将介绍各自研讨会的形式，描述过去一年在一个或多个研讨会上使用的几个简短练习，展示研讨会拍摄的照片和视频样本，以说明研讨会的有效性，并与观众分享一些收集到的关于研讨会的数据。然后，主讲人将回答观众关于研讨会的问题，并将花时间概述参与者如何参与举办新的CS4HS研讨会或参加在其所在地区举办的CS4HS研讨会。
1. SUMMARY In response to reports concerning the decline in enrollment in CS undergraduate programs nationwide [2], an effort began in 2006 to address this problem by running a workshop at Carnegie Mellon University titled CS4HS (Computer Science for High School). [1] This workshop provided high school teachers with course materials and information to show the breadth and application of CS to their students with the hope that this will help increase excitement about computing as a potential path for high school students when they enter college. The reach of the workshop was expanded in 2007 to include two additional universities: the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Washington. Each university had a different target audience of teachers for its workshop. In this special session, organizers at each university will describe the format of their individual workshops, describe several short exercises that were used in one or more of the workshops in the past year, show a sampling of photos and videos taken from the workshops to illustrate the effectiveness of the workshops, and share some collected data concerning the workshops with the audience. Presenters will then field questions from the audience concerning the workshops and time will be devoted to outlining how participants can get involved in running a new CS4HS workshop or attending a CS4HS workshop in their area as new workshops are organized.
