The main goals of the project are to: (1) enhance the delivery of the introductory level computer science programming course through a set of well-structured laboratory online lab experiences that are engaging, applied, and meaningful, (2) facilitate the adoption of the developed materials by other instructors, and (3) make the results and materials of this project available both in Spanish and English and accessible online as a turnkey solution. This will make the laboratory resources attractive and easy to adopt by other Hispanic serving institutions.The project provides a turnkey solution that significantly eases an instructor's change in classroom techniques toward more hands-on, active and engaging courses. In essence, the turnkey solution consists of a set of well-structured online laboratory experiences that are applied, meaningful, easily accessible and transferable, all packaged into a virtual appliance preconfigured with all the necessary software (compilers, libraries, and data files). The laboratory experiences contain a strong continuous assessment component to establish students' skills, concept mastery and attitudes towards the concepts and theme of the lab experiences. The experiences are designed following Merrill's five principles of instruction, i.e. be task-centered, and have processes of activation, demonstration, application and integration. Product development follows the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation). Student learning assessment is done before, during and after each laboratory experience. Promotion and dissemination of the project is achieved through exhibitions and publications in major CS Education conferences, as well as supported by a dedicated website.

该项目的主要目标是：（1）通过一组结构良好的实验室在线实验室体验来增强入门级计算机科学编程课程的交付，这些实验室体验具有吸引力，应用性和意义，（2）促进其他讲师采用开发的材料，以及（3）将该项目的成果和材料以西班牙文和英文提供，并作为一个交钥匙解决方案在网上提供。这将使实验室资源的吸引力和易于采用其他西班牙裔服务机构。该项目提供了一个交钥匙解决方案，大大减轻了教师的课堂技术的变化，走向更多的动手，积极和参与的课程。从本质上讲，交钥匙解决方案由一套结构良好的在线实验室体验组成，这些体验是实用的、有意义的、易于访问和可转移的，所有这些都打包到一个预先配置了所有必要软件（编译器、库和数据文件）的虚拟设备中。 实验室体验包含一个强大的持续评估组件，以建立学生的技能，概念掌握和对实验室体验的概念和主题的态度。体验设计遵循梅里尔的五项教学原则，即以任务为中心，有激活、示范、应用和整合的过程。产品开发遵循ADDIE模型（分析、设计、开发、实施、评估）。学生学习评估是在每次实验室体验之前，期间和之后进行的。该计划的披索和披索工作，是透过在重要的计算机科学教育会议上举办展览和出版刊物，以及设立一个专门的网站来进行。
