The University of California, Irvine proposes an American Indian Summer Institute in Computer Science (AISICS) that aims to broaden participation in the computer sciences by actively engaging American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) students in cross-disciplinary culturally relevant hands-on information and computer science educational and social activities. For each of three summers, AI/AN high school students will work with computer science professors, graduate students, undergraduates, and high school teachers to develop interactive story projects. These projects will utilize technologies and concepts used in computer game development, will draw on the significant interest that many high school students feel for computer games, and will provide a means to present culture and history shared by American Indian storytellers in a modern context. About 100 AI/AN high school students will experience a cross-disciplinary culturally relevant curriculum, and their work will become part of a repository that provides a resource for digital curricular content made available to K-12 educators. The students will also participate in an American Indian studies course, a communication skills course, and informational workshops about college and the college admissions process. UC Irvine has offered a previous model of AISICS for eleven summers since 1991. This new AISICS project will enhance the partnership among the University, Title VII American Indian high school education programs, and other American Indian organizations.

加州大学欧文分校提议设立美国印第安人计算机科学暑期学院（AISICS），旨在通过积极吸引美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/ an）学生参与跨学科文化相关的实践信息和计算机科学教育和社会活动，扩大对计算机科学的参与。每三个暑假，AI/AN高中学生将与计算机科学教授、研究生、本科生和高中教师一起开发互动故事项目。这些项目将利用电脑游戏开发中使用的技术和概念，将吸引许多高中生对电脑游戏的极大兴趣，并将提供一种在现代背景下呈现美国印第安人故事讲述者分享的文化和历史的方法。大约100名AI/AN高中学生将体验跨学科的文化相关课程，他们的作品将成为存储库的一部分，该存储库为K-12教育工作者提供数字课程内容资源。学生们还将参加一门美国印第安人研究课程、一门沟通技巧课程，以及关于大学和大学录取过程的信息研讨会。自1991年以来，加州大学欧文分校已经提供了11个夏季的AISICS模型。这个新的AISICS项目将加强大学、第七章美国印第安人高中教育项目和其他美国印第安人组织之间的伙伴关系。
