The University of Pennsylvania proposes to develop and deploy a new CS service-learning course at the college level which will be integrated with the cascading mentoring of high and middle school students. The course - called College Service Learning Course to Promote and Increase COMPutational Thinking and ACTion (Penn COMP-ACT) - will train college students to teach K-12 computational activities. Penn COMP-ACT undergraduates will learn about computational thinking, and then they will teach and mentor high school and middle students in coordinated summer workshops and afterschool programs. The high school students will be engaged to work with the middle school students as well. This "learning-by-teaching" approach will improve all of the student's understanding of computational thinking and purposes by exposure to a variety of hands-on software design activities and materials. The Penn COMP-ACT course leverages several prior successful efforts including a pilot service-learning course set up in the CS course program, and the existing partnerships and programs within CS and Penn to recruit girls and minorities from the local community. It will be lead by an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, computer science and K-12 educators.

宾夕法尼亚大学建议开发和部署一个新的CS服务学习课程在大学一级，将与高中和初中学生的级联辅导相结合。这门课程名为“促进和增加计算思维和行动的大学服务学习课程”（Penn COMP-ACT），将培训大学生教授K-12计算活动。Penn COMP-ACT本科生将学习计算思维，然后他们将在协调的夏季研讨会和课外活动中教授和指导高中和初中学生。高中生也将与中学生一起工作。这种“边教边学”的方法将通过接触各种动手软件设计活动和材料来提高所有学生对计算思维和目的的理解。宾夕法尼亚大学COMP-ACT课程利用了几个先前的成功努力，包括在CS课程计划中设立的试点服务学习课程，以及CS和宾夕法尼亚大学内现有的合作伙伴关系和计划，从当地社区招募女孩和少数民族。它将由计算机科学家，计算机科学和K-12教育工作者组成的跨学科团队领导。
