The University of Pennsylvania and Arizona State University will investigate how American Indian youth, communities, and pre-service teachers learn and design with computational textiles. Computational or e-textiles,textile artifacts that contain embedded computers or are computationally generated, are promising portals into youths' existing interests in new media and design and connecting them to computer science education by using indigenous communities' existing craft practices and thus strengthening school-community relationships. The EthnoEtextiles project expands e-textiles in new directions by integrating the following successful developments and NSF work: (1) a computational construction kit, the Lilypad Arduino, that can promote the type of technology fluency missing in students' creative explorations with technology; (2) teacher professional development approaches that encourage culturally relevant and reflective teaching with technology; and (3) workshop models that create connections among youth, members of their community, and their cultural heritage. The purpose is to develop relationships and workshop models for youth and teachers that can become a platform for larger systemic and sustainable initiatives in computer science education for American Indian youth, teachers, and community members. The proposed project will contribute to our growing understanding of teaching and learning with electronic textiles in computer science education and help diversify participation by reaching traditionally underserved communities of American Indian peoples.

宾夕法尼亚大学和亚利桑那州立大学将调查美国印第安青年，社区和职前教师如何学习和设计计算纺织品。计算纺织品或电子纺织品，即含有嵌入式计算机或通过计算产生的纺织品，是青年人对新媒体和设计的现有兴趣的有希望的门户，并通过利用土著社区现有的工艺做法，将他们与计算机科学教育联系起来，从而加强学校与社区的关系。EthnoEtextiles项目通过整合以下成功的开发和NSF的工作，将电子纺织品扩展到新的方向：（1）一个计算构建工具包，Lilypad Arduino，可以促进学生在技术创造性探索中缺乏的技术流畅性;（2）教师专业发展方法，鼓励文化相关和反思性的技术教学;以及（3）在青年、其社区成员和其文化遗产之间建立联系的讲习班模式。其目的是为青年和教师发展关系和研讨会模式，这些模式可以成为美国印第安青年，教师和社区成员计算机科学教育中更大的系统性和可持续性举措的平台。拟议的项目将有助于我们越来越多地了解计算机科学教育中电子纺织品的教学和学习，并通过接触传统上服务不足的美洲印第安人社区来帮助多样化参与。
