All recognize the pressing need for more computer science graduates, as well as the often unappealing nature of introductory classes. The goal of this project is to showcase and teach the skills necessary to thrive in computer science, while engaging a diverse student body at a variety of education levels. In order to revitalize undergraduate education in computer science and address the need for an increase in undergraduate majors, this project will use a novel three-fold approach. The community of college professors, high school teachers, and an industrial partner will plan and implement an exciting first exposure to computer science by engaging experiential learning. Interactive Learning Modules, developed by the collaboration team members at different institutions, will serve as a vehicle for bringing innovation to the classroom. These collaboration-based experiences throughout the computer science curriculum are encouraged through a number of mechanisms, including multi-institution teams, games, and research into effective design of curricula and modules. The modules themselves are expected to inspire creation of addition interactive modules, designed by students for students, identifying an aspect of computational thinking, a separate domain of its use and a variety of which in which the modules provides experiences. A summer seminar experience for teachers will provide credit hours as well as experience in using the learning modules. Evaluation will cover both formative and summative aspects.

所有人都认识到迫切需要更多的计算机科学毕业生，以及入门课程往往没有吸引力的性质。 该项目的目标是展示和教授在计算机科学中蓬勃发展所需的技能，同时在各种教育水平上吸引多样化的学生。 为了振兴计算机科学本科教育，并解决本科专业增加的需求，该项目将采用一种新颖的三重方法。大学教授，高中教师和工业合作伙伴的社区将通过参与体验式学习来计划和实施令人兴奋的第一次接触计算机科学。 由不同机构的合作团队成员开发的互动学习模块将成为将创新带入课堂的工具。这些基于合作的经验，在整个计算机科学课程鼓励通过一些机制，包括多机构团队，游戏，并研究到有效的设计课程和模块。 这些模块本身有望激发学生为学生设计的额外交互式模块的创建，确定计算思维的一个方面，其使用的一个单独的领域以及模块提供经验的各种领域。 教师的夏季研讨会经验将提供学分以及使用学习模块的经验。 评价将包括形成性和总结性两个方面。
