Pacific University proposes to engage girls in computing with a multifaceted, modular pedagogical strategy that focuses on women computer scientists as leaders. The approach will feature a four-week long computer science summer camp for 7th and 8th grade girls - G2CS (Girls Gather for Computer Science) - with original curriculum that utilizes active learning and focuses on computational thinking, a mentoring program, a multi-media approach and interactive web site, as well as a ten-year commitment to the students involved. Using female computer science leaders as instructors and removing students from their usual surroundings and preoccupations free young women to concentrate on the science, and imagine themselves as scientists. The camp will run for three years and systematic follow-on activities within electronic environments will create an ongoing community of students, their families, mentors and teachers as well as partners. The focus in this particular project is on overcoming the lack of young women in computer science, though its approach would be suitable for use in a variety of scientific fields. The project is a partnership between Pacific University and Oregon's nationally recognized public broadcasting station, Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). Other partners include the Berglund Center for Internet Studies at Pacific, the Intel Corporation, the educational media company Flying Rhinoceros, Vernier Software & Technology, leaders from tribal groups, local Latino community representatives, and local school district heads. The outcomes of the project include video coverage of the camp, featuring young scientists and their mentors at work, game-like "interactives" for the camp web site, and a broad collection of media tools.

太平洋大学提议采用多方面、模块化的教学战略，让女孩参与计算，重点是让女计算机科学家成为领导者。该方法将采用为期四周的计算机科学夏令营7日和8日年级的女孩-G2 CS（女孩聚集在计算机科学）-与原始课程，利用主动学习，并侧重于计算思维，辅导计划，多媒体方法和互动网站，以及十年的承诺，参与学生。使用女性计算机科学领导者作为教师，并将学生从他们通常的环境和关注点中解放出来，让年轻女性专注于科学，并想象自己是科学家。该夏令营将持续三年，在电子环境中开展系统的后续活动，将建立一个由学生、他们的家庭、导师和教师以及合作伙伴组成的持续社区。这一项目的重点是克服缺少年轻妇女学习计算机科学的问题，尽管其方法适用于各种科学领域。该项目是太平洋大学和俄勒冈州的国家认可的公共广播电台，俄勒冈州公共广播（OPB）之间的伙伴关系。其他合作伙伴包括太平洋伯格伦互联网研究中心、英特尔公司、教育媒体公司Flying Rhinoceros、Vernier Software Technology、部落团体领导人、当地拉丁裔社区代表和当地学区负责人。该项目的成果包括对夏令营的视频报道，介绍青年科学家及其导师的工作情况，夏令营网站上类似游戏的“互动”，以及广泛的媒体工具。
