Santa Clara University, in partnership with Santa Clara School Districts, proposes to extend the reach of the Exploring Computer Science (ECS) course developed in Los Angeles into high schools in northern California. ECS was designed to be an engaging introduction to computing that is contextualized to be socially relevant and meaningful for diverse student populations. It covers a variety of topics, including problem solving, programming, Web design, data modeling, human computer interaction, robotics, ethical and social implications, and career opportunities. This project will demonstrate how the course can be replicated throughout California and other states. It will develop a course implementation package that includes alternative curriculum units expressly written for students from different cultures and with different life experiences, and materials that facilitate the successful engagement of administrators, the recruitment of students, the preparation of teachers, and additional course support. This work is part of a much long-term effort to work with local schools and their teachers, as well as organizations such as NCWIT and CTSA, in providing a comprehensive approach to increasing participation in computing in Silicon Valley.

圣克拉拉大学（Santa Clara University）与圣克拉拉学区（Santa Clara School Districts）合作，提议将洛杉矶开发的探索计算机科学（ECS）课程扩展到加州北部的高中。ECS旨在成为一门引人入胜的计算机入门课程，对不同的学生群体具有社会相关性和意义。它涵盖了各种各样的主题，包括解决问题、编程、网页设计、数据建模、人机交互、机器人、伦理和社会影响以及职业机会。这个项目将展示如何在加州和其他州复制这门课程。它将制定一套课程实施方案，其中包括明确为来自不同文化和不同生活经历的学生编写的替代课程单元，以及有助于管理人员成功参与、学生招募、教师准备和额外课程支持的材料。这项工作是与当地学校及其教师以及NCWIT和CTSA等组织合作的长期努力的一部分，旨在提供一种全面的方法来增加硅谷对计算机的参与。
