This NSF INCLUDES pilot addresses the challenge of broadening participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) among minoritized youth in grades 5-8 and their access to computer science (CS), which is recognized as integral to all STEM disciplines. This project will specifically focus on developing and understanding computing experiences intentionally designed to strengthen mathematical skills utilizing culturally responsive pedagogy. Culturally responsive pedagogy integrates knowledge relevant to students' identities and communities with computational learning activities, and maximizes the potential for increasing engagement, competence, and belonging of underrepresented youth in computing. This pilot will be situated in community-based organizations, including Boys and Girls Clubs and Public Libraries, with the support of industry partners and the local Department of Education. Given the role of community-based organizations and libraries across the nation for community engagement and educational enrichment, this work represents an exciting opportunity for spreading into thousands of libraries and community centers across the nation, thereby having collective impact that materializes CS for All.This project will engage minoritized youth in grades 5-8. The overarching vision is to establish a scalable model for providing these students with recurrent opportunities to create computational artifacts that are culturally-responsive to their community contexts. In addition, there will be an explicit and simultaneous focus on strengthening students' mathematical skills. The project has four goals: (1) facilitate culturally-responsive learning of key CS concepts and practices; (2) build youth and community knowledge around positive impacts of computing on local communities; (3) increase participants' knowledge, confidence and interest in becoming creators of computing innovations; and (4) strengthen mathematical skills through intentional computing experiences. The project will adapt and implement CS modules from the NSF-funded Exploring Computer Science curriculum, and will intentionally reinforce mathematics skills and community engagement. It will design and implement a culturally-responsive training model for establishing community instructors who can support CS project learning. Finally, it will create instruments for monitoring project goals and participant outcomes. Due to the collaboration with community-based organizations present in cities across the nation, the model has strong potential to scale up regionally and nationally.

NSF INCLUDES试点解决了在5-8年级的少数民族青年中扩大科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）参与的挑战，以及他们获得计算机科学（CS）的机会，这被认为是所有STEM学科的组成部分。该项目将特别侧重于开发和理解计算机经验，旨在利用文化响应教学法加强数学技能。对文化敏感的教学法将与学生身份和社区相关的知识与计算学习活动相结合，并最大限度地提高代表性不足的青年在计算方面的参与度、能力和归属感。这一试点将在行业伙伴和当地教育部的支持下，在社区组织中进行，包括男孩和女孩俱乐部和公共图书馆。鉴于全国各地的社区组织和图书馆在社区参与和教育丰富方面的作用，这项工作代表了一个令人兴奋的机会，可以传播到全国数千个图书馆和社区中心，从而产生集体影响，实现全民CS。总体愿景是建立一个可扩展的模型，为这些学生提供经常性的机会，创造计算工件，是文化响应他们的社区背景。此外，将有一个明确的，同时注重加强学生的数学技能。该项目有四个目标：（1）促进对关键计算机科学概念和实践的文化响应学习;（2）围绕计算对当地社区的积极影响建立青年和社区知识;（3）增加参与者的知识，信心和兴趣，成为计算创新的创造者;（4）通过有意的计算经验加强数学技能。该项目将改编和实施NSF资助的探索计算机科学课程的CS模块，并有意加强数学技能和社区参与。它将设计和实施一个文化敏感的培训模式，以建立社区教师谁可以支持CS项目学习。最后，它将创建用于监控项目目标和参与者成果的工具。由于与全国各城市的社区组织合作，该模式具有在区域和全国范围内扩大规模的强大潜力。
