The IMPACT LA program places Computer and Information Science and Engineering graduate teaching fellows in STEM middle- and high-school classrooms within the East Los Angeles area. Graduate fellows conduct research and develop related hands-on activities in the areas of image processing, information hiding, 3D computer graphics and computer vision techniques, embedded computing, sensor networks, and bioinformatics. Fellows work closely with G6-12 teachers to develop the hands-on activities designed to enhance the educational experience of G6-12 students and increase their interest in STEM-related fields. Through technology education courses and workshops, California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA) faculty train fellows to improve their communication, collaboration, and teaching skills. The program goals are achieved through a strong partnership between CSULA, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) District #5, local industry, and minority serving organizations such as HENAAC and MESA. The broader impacts of this program are to increase the number of underrepresented minority students who pursue college degrees and careers in STEM and to strengthen the research and teaching skills of the graduate fellows. LAUSD District #5 is composed of 89,702 students where 96.6% are underrepresented minorities. Fellows will be placed in Roosevelt High School and its two feeder middle schools, Stevenson and Hollenbeck. As a United States Department of Education Accredited Minority Postsecondary Institution and Hispanic Serving Institution, CSULA has a large number of minority undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering students who will be encouraged to participate in the IMPACT LA program as graduate fellows.

IMPACT LA计划将计算机和信息科学与工程研究生教学研究员安置在东洛杉矶地区的STEM初中和高中教室中。 研究生研究员在图像处理，信息隐藏，3D计算机图形和计算机视觉技术，嵌入式计算，传感器网络和生物信息学领域进行研究和开发相关的实践活动。 研究员与G6-12教师密切合作，开发旨在增强G6-12学生的教育体验并提高他们对STEM相关领域的兴趣的实践活动。 通过技术教育课程和研讨会，加州州立大学，洛杉矶（CSULA）教师培训研究员，以提高他们的沟通，协作和教学技能。 该计划的目标是通过CSULA，洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）区#5，当地产业和少数民族服务组织，如HENAAC和梅萨之间的强有力的合作伙伴关系实现的。 该计划的更广泛影响是增加在STEM领域攻读大学学位和职业的代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量，并加强研究生研究员的研究和教学技能。 LAUSD区#5由89，702名学生组成，其中96.6%是代表性不足的少数民族。 研究员将被安置在罗斯福高中及其两所附属中学，史蒂文森和霍伦贝克。 作为美国教育部认可的少数民族高等教育机构和西班牙裔服务机构，CSULA拥有大量的少数民族本科计算机科学与工程学生，他们将被鼓励参加IMPACT LA计划作为研究生研究员。
