San José State University (SJSU) proposes a planning effort leading to a larger initiative, that will be called Expanding Paths to Computing ? Leveraging Students? Personal Interests. Ultimately the alliance will recruit and retain Latino/a students into computing by tapping into their personal interests, both social and relational. It will develop study paths that link students? personal interests to computing during their high school and college freshman years; progressive involvement will inspire students to pursue college majors in computing. This proposal begins the project with a pilot of the high school outreach, Hispanic Computing Brigades (HCB). The HCB will be tested in two local high schools, inspiring and engaging Hispanic students through IT service learning projects. The high school students will begin the program with the summer camp, continue to learn and engage computing throughout the year with community service learning, and end with a local competition where they will showcase their computing projects with high school faculty, SJSU faculty, parents/guardians, and the community. Students will learn computer and programming skills and processes in weekly meetings with the help of advisors and mentors. Through assessment, the project expects to determine whether the approach of IT service learning is a strong motivator for Hispanic students.

圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）提出了一项计划，该计划将导致一个更大的倡议，这将被称为扩展计算之路？利用学生?个人的利益。最终，该联盟将通过挖掘拉丁裔学生的个人兴趣，包括社会和关系，来招募和留住他们。它将开发出连接学生的学习路径。高中和大学一年级对计算机的个人兴趣；渐进式参与将激励学生在大学主修计算机。该提案以高中外展的试点项目开始，西班牙计算旅（HCB）。HCB将在当地两所高中进行测试，通过IT服务学习项目激励和吸引西班牙裔学生。高中学生将从夏令营开始，通过社区服务学习继续学习和参与计算机，并以当地的竞赛结束，他们将向高中教师、SJSU教师、家长/监护人和社区展示他们的计算机项目。学生将在顾问和导师的帮助下，在每周的会议上学习计算机和编程技能和流程。通过评估，该项目希望确定IT服务学习方法是否对西班牙裔学生具有强大的激励作用。
