BPC-DP: A Developmental Community for Recruiting and Maintaining Women in CISE Education

宾夕法尼亚州立大学建议通过创建一个发展学习社区来增加进入计算机领域的女性人数：这个社区包括高中女生、Cise专业的本科生女性，以及参与合作活动的女教职员工和校友专业人员，这些活动为年轻女性在接触和参与计算概念和实践时参与、理解和掌握技能奠定了基础。社区将在Cise职业生涯的多个阶段为年轻成员提供导师和社交模式。一些社区互动将是面对面的，但在大多数情况下，小组将通过在线社区系统来维护和加强。通过参与式设计过程，女本科生将开发和提供研讨会，在研讨会上，高中女孩一起工作，开发专门为吸引她们而设计的软件应用程序。校友将为本科生社区成员举办类似的工作坊。在规划和部署这些外联活动的过程中，社区成员将开发和使用一个在线社区系统来开展协作工作。

The Pennsylvania State University proposes to increase the number of women entering computing by creating a developmental learning community: A community including high school girls, undergraduate women in CISE majors, and female faculty and alumni professionals engaged in collaborative activities that scaffold the participation, understanding, and skills of young women as they encounter and engage the concepts and practices of computing. The community will provide younger members with mentors and social models at multiple stages of CISE careers. Some community interactions will be face-to-face, but for the most part the group will be maintained and enhanced through an on-line community system. Through a participatory design process, female undergraduates will develop and deliver workshops in which high school girls' work together to build software applications specifically designed to appeal to them. The alumni will develop similar workshops for the undergraduate community members. In the course of planning and fielding these outreach activities; community members will develop and use an online community system for their collaborative work.
