Collaborative Research: BPEC: YO-GUTC: YOung Women Growing Up Thinking Computationally

青年女性成长计算(YO-GUTC)是两个成功的扩大计算参与度项目的联合演变：新墨西哥州立大学的青年女性计算机项目和圣达菲研究所的GUTS Y Girls项目。Yo-GUTC是一个为期3年的项目，面向至少120名高中女性，由一系列密集的夏季研讨会和新墨西哥州拉斯克鲁塞市和圣达菲地区年轻女性在计算机领域的社区庆祝活动组成。YO-GUTC探索了为什么一些对计算机科学专业或职业感兴趣的年轻拉美裔女性决定离开高中，而另一些人则留在了高中。YO-GUTC将为夏季研讨会设计、实施和评估教学材料，开发一个在线社区和社交网络，并研究是否可以解决准备差距，建立社区和在线支持系统，使计算与西班牙裔文化价值观保持一致，是否可以保持年轻女性对计算的参与和兴趣。通过纵向(超过3年)的访谈和调查，学生们将被要求分享关于他们发展中的计算机科学身份，计算机科学的参与和抱负的叙述。YO-GUTC将提出与西班牙裔女性在计算机领域代表性不足有关的研究问题，并调查干预措施，以增加和维持她们的兴趣和参与。

Young Women Growing Up Thinking Computationally (YO-GUTC) is the joint evolution of two successful broadening participation in computing programs: the Young Women in Computing program at New Mexico State University and the GUTS y Girls program at Santa Fe Institute. YO-GUTC is a 3-year program, targeting at least 120 high school women, and composed of a series of intensive summer workshops and community celebrations of young women in computing in the Las Cruces and the Santa Fe areas of New Mexico. YO-GUTC explores why some young Hispanic females who are interested in computer science majors or careers decide to leave the pipeline in high school while others persist.YO-GUTC will design, implement and evaluate instructional materials for summer workshops, develop an online community and social network, and study whether addressing the preparation gap, building community and online support systems, and aligning computing with Hispanic cultural values, can sustain young women's participation and interest in computing. Through longitudinal (over 3 years) interviews and surveys, students will be asked to share narratives about their developing computer science identities, computer science participation, and aspirations. YO-GUTC will pose research questions related to the underrepresentation of Hispanic women in computing, and investigate interventions to increase and sustain their interest and participation.
