The Level Playing Field Institute will design and implement a comprehensive Advanced Placement computer science preparatory course sequence within its 3-year Summer Math and Science Honors Academy (SMASH) to prepare underrepresented high school students of color to pursue computer science degrees in higher education. The project will to provide 345 African American and Latino low-income, first-generation high school students from schools in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles Area the opportunity to engage early (9th grade) and consistently (three 5-week courses over 3 summers) with computer science curriculum. This course sequence will adopt the Exploring Computer Science curriculum and introduce students to the field of computer science, while making computer science relevant to the cultural background and lived experiences of students of color. This project aims to: (1) integrate computer science into the core program components of the SMASH Academy, providing a 3-year AP CS Principles preparatory sequence for all students; (2) examine the impact of a 3-year computer science sequence on the learning outcomes, aspirations, beliefs, attitudes, and longitudinal outcomes of underrepresented high school students; and (3) examine the impact of online AP CS Principles courses on student outcomes and examine implications for online computer science courses to address disparities facing underrepresented students and broaden participation in computer science.

水平的竞争现场学院将在其3年的夏季数学和科学荣誉学院（SMASH）中设计和实施全面的高级计算机科学预备课程序列，以准备代表不足的高中有色学生，以攻读高等教育的计算机科学学位。该项目将为来自旧金山湾区和洛杉矶地区学校的345名非裔美国人和拉丁裔低收入，第一代高中学生提供机会，有机会与计算机科学课程一起参与早期（9年级），并始终如一地与计算机科学课程互动（三个5周的课程）。本课程序列将采用探索计算机科学课程，并向学生介绍计算机科学领域，同时使计算机科学与有色学生的文化背景和生活经历相关。该项目的目的是：（1）将计算机科学纳入Smash Academy的核心计划组成部分，为所有学生提供了为期3年的AP CS原理预备序列； （2）研究了3年的计算机科学顺序对人物代表性不足的高中生的学习成果，愿望，信念，态度和纵向结果的影响； （3）研究在线AP CS原理课程对学生成绩的影响，并研究对在线计算机科学课程的影响，以解决代表性不足的学生面临的差异并扩大对计算机科学的参与。
