像夏令营这样的校外计划已经证明对学生接触计算机科学是有益的,特别是在不提供计算机课程的学区。COVID-19大流行给已经受到数字鸿沟影响的学生带来了挑战,因为如果他们不准备好转向,面对面的营地就会停止。作为回应,我们创建了一个虚拟夏令营,提供非正式的计算机科学学习机会,旨在提高黑人和拉丁裔女孩对计算机的信心,并促进对计算机科学教育和职业机会的积极看法。我们的方法的关键是认识到,在营地的与会者,教师,嘉宾演讲者的社区代表,并在内容可以培养黑人和拉丁裔女孩在计算的信心。在本文中,我们借鉴了交叉计算框架,并提出了虚拟程序的结构,教学和课程设计,并提出了初步调查结果的营地计算信心的影响,意图坚持,社会支持,计算结果的期望。对107名夏令营参加者进行的调查前和调查后的研究结果表明,参加夏令营导致黑人和拉丁裔女孩的计算信心和计算结果预期增加。
Out-of-school time programs like summer camps have shown to be beneficial for exposing students to computer science, particularly in school districts where computing classes are not offered. The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges for students who were already subject to the digital divide, as in-person camps came to a halt if they weren't prepared to pivot. In response, we created a virtual summer camp that provides informal computer science learning opportunities that were intentionally designed to increase the confidence of Black and Latina girls in computing and to promote positive perceptions of computer science education and career opportunities. Key to our approach is the recognition that representation in the camp's community of attendees, teachers, guest speakers, and in the content can foster confidence for Black and Latina girls in computing. In this paper, we draw on the intersectional computing framework and present the structural, instructional, and curricular design of the virtual program and present initial findings on the impact of the camp on computing confidence, intent to persist, social supports, and computing outcome expectations. Findings of a pre- and post-survey study of 107 camp attendees show that participating in the camp resulted in an increase in computing confidence as well as computing outcome expectations among Black and Latina girls.
