In 2004, an alliance between faculty from the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies (GSEIS), the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSEAS), and officials from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)-the Computer Science Equity Collaborative (CSEC)--was formed. The purpose of the alliance is to address the under-representation of female, African-American, and Latino/a students in computer science (CS) at the high school level.The first endeavor of the CSEC was a summer institute for LAUSD Advanced Placement (AP) CS teachers that resulted in 11 brand-new AP CS courses in LAUSD high schools with high minority student populations. Teachers were given instruction in Java as well as being engaged in discussions on recruiting and retaining underrepresented students. As a result of the summer institute, the number of AP CS courses in the LAUSD doubled, the number of LAUSD female students enrolled in AP CS tripled, the number of LAUSD Latino/a students tripled, and the number of LAUSD African-American students enrolled in AP CS doubled. Principals of the schools committed to providing support for these courses.UCLA has been awarded Special Projects funds to support its participation in a second summer institute, to provide a UCLA-based summer conference meeting of principals and other critical stakeholders who are interested in expanding access to AP CS for under-represented students, to conduct follow-through research in year-round schools that continue to operate through the summer, and to further develop new collaborative initiatives.

2004年，加州大学洛杉矶分校教育与信息研究研究生院（GSEIS）、加州大学洛杉矶分校亨利萨穆埃利工程与应用科学学院（HSEAS）和洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）的官员组成了一个联盟--计算机科学公平合作组织（CSEC）。该联盟的目的是解决女性，非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲/a学生在计算机科学（CS）在高中水平的代表性不足。CSEC的第一次奋进是LAUSD高级安置（AP）CS教师的暑期研究所，导致11个全新的AP CS课程在LAUSD高中与高少数民族学生人口。教师们接受了爪哇语的教学，并参与了关于招聘和留住代表性不足的学生的讨论。由于暑期学院，LAUSD的AP CS课程数量翻了一番，LAUSD女学生的数量增加了两倍，LAUSD拉丁裔/学生的数量增加了两倍，LAUSD非洲裔美国学生的数量增加了一倍。学校校长承诺为这些课程提供支持。加州大学洛杉矶分校已获得特别项目资金，以支持其参与第二个暑期学院，为校长和其他有兴趣为代表性不足的学生扩大AP CS的关键利益相关者提供基于加州大学洛杉矶分校的夏季会议，在夏季继续运营的全年学校进行后续研究，并进一步制定新的合作举措。
