计算机科学（CS）没有在足够的高中教授，因此许多学生到达学院或大学对此知之甚少，并且通常不会考虑在第一年参加CS课程。与此同时，我们遇到许多大学三年级和四年级的学生，他们在上第一门计算机课程时，发现了自己的才能和兴趣，但为时已晚。我们描述了一个创新的为期一周的住宅暑期课程，旨在教育非计算机科学专业的学生，在他们的大学二年级之前，关于该领域的许多领域和长期前景。该计划成功地鼓励犹豫不决的学生主修或辅修CS，从而在一定程度上改善了K-12教育中CS的缺乏，并进一步实现了“CS For All”的会议目标。
Computer Science (CS) is not taught in enough high schools thus many students arrive at college or university knowing little about it and often do not consider taking a CS course during their first year. At the same time, we encounter many college or university juniors and seniors who, while taking their first CS course, discover an aptitude and interest, at which point it is too late. We describe an innovative one-week residential summer program designed to educate non-computer science majors, before their second year of college or university, about the field's many areas and long-term prospects. The program has succeeded at encouraging undecided students to major or minor in CS and thus somewhat ameliorates the lack of CS in K-12 education and furthers the conference goal of "CS For All".
