-这份经验报告介绍了一项扩展计划的要素，以扩大小学生对计算机的参与。该计划是基于一个独特的多方面的课程，促进抽象的计算机科学（CS）概念在夏令营设置的介绍。课程以不同的表达方式向孩子们展示相同的抽象内容，并帮助他们用“动手”的方式学习和实践这些概念。此外，考虑到参与者的年级和年龄，多重表征的使用支持不同学习者的学习需求。具体来说，我们以三种形式向学生介绍CS概念：1)使用有动机的现实世界和日常示例，2)基本图形编程，以及3)设计用于在有趣的环境中测试和练习概念的自定义视频游戏。测试前/测试后分析显示出有希望的趋势，包括态度和学习计算思维和编码概念的积极变化。
— This experience report presents elements of an outreach program to elementary school children to broaden participation in computing. The program is based on a unique multi-faceted curriculum that facilitates the presentation of abstract computer science (CS) concepts within a summer camp setting. The curriculum exposes the same abstract content to children using different representations and helps them to learn and practice the concepts using a “hands-on” approach. Further, use of multiple representations supports the learning needs of diverse learners, considering the grades and ages of the participants. Specifically, we present CS concepts to students in three formats: 1) using motivated real-world and everyday examples, 2) elementary graphical programming, and 3) a custom video game designed to test and exercise concepts in a fun environment. Pretest/posttest analysis show promising trends, including positive changes in attitudes and learning of computational thinking and coding concepts.
