BPC-A: Expanding Paths to Computing - Leveraging Students? Personal Interests

圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）提出了一个规划工作，导致一个更大的倡议，这将被称为扩展路径计算？利用学生？个人利益最终，该联盟将通过利用拉丁美洲/a学生的个人兴趣（包括社交和关系）来招募和留住他们。它将开发连接学生的学习路径？在他们的高中和大学一年级的个人兴趣计算;逐步参与将激励学生追求大学专业的计算。该提案以高中外展试点西班牙裔计算旅（HCB）开始该项目。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。高中生将开始与夏令营计划，继续学习和从事计算全年与社区服务学习，并与当地的竞争结束，他们将展示他们的计算项目与高中教师，SJSU教师，家长/监护人，和社区。学生将在顾问和导师的帮助下，在每周会议上学习计算机和编程技能和流程。通过评估，该项目预计将确定是否IT服务学习的方法是一个强大的动力，为西班牙裔学生。

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.
