The Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with Columbus State University proposes an extension to the "Georgia Computes!" Alliance. Georgia Computes! has made dramatic strides in improving computing education throughout the state, at all levels of the pipeline. Its efforts start at 4th grade with summer camps, and continue through middle school with camps and outreach with the Girl Scouts, YWCA, and Cool Girls, extend to high school with camps and teacher professional development, and end in undergraduate education with faculty workshops. Georgia Computes! successes include exponential growth in the number of Girl Scouts taking their computing workshops, the creation of eight new regional summer computing camps, a doubling of the number of institutions offering Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS), a doubling of the number of Hispanic students taking the APCS exam, and change at a quarter of the computing programs in the University System of Georgia. With this Extension, they propose to scale, and broaden their alliance interventions. Georgia Computes! will grow its teacher education efforts to include two regional centers of expertise, at Columbus State and at Armstrong Atlantic State University. In order to offer inservice workshops throughout the state, it will develop on-line materials, including courses that provide on-line access to Georgia's new computer science teaching endorsement. Georgia Computes! will grow its already successful K-12 outreach efforts to help students to develop a broader definition of computing. It will use more diverse student mentors, including high school students and disabled undergraduate students. Most importantly, this Extension will create infrastructure for careful measurement of individual university computing programs in the state and to track individuals from workshops and camps, through high school classes, to university degrees.

佐治亚理工学院与哥伦布州立大学合作，提出了“佐治亚计算机！”联盟。格鲁吉亚计算!在提高全州各级计算机教育水平方面取得了巨大进步。它的努力从四年级的夏令营开始，延续到中学的夏令营，并与女童子军、基督教女青年会和酷女孩合作，扩展到高中的夏令营和教师专业发展，并以教师研讨会结束本科教育。格鲁吉亚计算!取得的成就包括参加计算机研讨会的女童子军人数的指数级增长，创建了8个新的地区性暑期计算机夏令营，提供计算机科学预修课程（APCS）的机构数量增加了一倍，参加APCS考试的西班牙裔学生数量增加了一倍，格鲁吉亚大学系统中四分之一的计算机课程发生了变化。通过这一扩展，他们建议扩大和扩大其联盟干预措施。格鲁吉亚计算!将加大教师教育力度，包括哥伦布州立大学和阿姆斯特朗大西洋州立大学的两个区域专业知识中心。为了在全州范围内提供在职研讨会，它将开发在线材料，包括提供在线访问格鲁吉亚新计算机科学教学认可的课程。格鲁吉亚计算!将扩大其已经取得成功的K-12外展工作，帮助学生们对计算有更广泛的定义。它将使用更多样化的学生导师，包括高中生和残疾大学生。最重要的是，该扩展将创建基础设施，以仔细衡量州内各个大学的计算程序，并跟踪个人从车间和营地，通过高中课程，到大学学位。
