In response to and in alignment with an effort undertaken by the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) Directorate to increase broadening participation in computing (BPC) activities among its Principal Investigators (PIs), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and the National 4-H Council (4-H) will pilot an effort to support CISE PIs in engaging underserved youth in computer science(CS) - specifically computational and algorithmic thinking - during out-of-school time settings. The project will develop a CS Professional Development (CSPD) toolkit that includes real-world, video-based learning modules, facilitated in-person professional development opportunities, and distance learning experiences to support educators in encouraging youth to develop their CS skills. Materials in the toolkit with be developed and, in some cases, delivered by members of the CISE community. 4-H reaches nearly six million youth through the nation's land grant university (LGU) system, and has already embarked on a partnership with Google to teach youth both technical and interpersonal skills at three LGUs. This proposal will expand upon that foundation by developing, designing, and testing CS professional development resources at those three 4-H OST CS sites. The resources will then be packaged into a transferable toolkit that can be eventually scaled to reach the 600,000 volunteers and 3,500 educators that currently facilitate 4-H programming within LGUs and potentially opening the door for many additional members of the CISE community to contribute to 4H activities on a regular basis.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

In response to and in alignment with an effort undertaken by the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) Directorate to increase broadening participation in computing (BPC) activities among its Principal Investigators (PIs), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and the National 4-H Council (4-H) will pilot an effort to support CISE PIs in engaging underserved youth in computer science(CS) - specifically computational and算法思维 - 在校外时间设置中。 该项目将开发CS专业发展（CSPD）工具包，其中包括现实世界，基于视频的学习模块，促进了面对面的专业发展机会以及远程学习经验，以支持教育者鼓励青年发展其CS技能。可以开发工具包中的材料，在某些情况下是由Cise社区成员提供的。 4-H通过全国土地赠款大学（LGU）系统达到了近600万年轻人，并且已经与Google建立了合作伙伴关系，以三个LGU的技术和人际交往能力教授青年。该建议将通过在这三个4小时OST CS站点开发，设计和测试CS专业开发资源来扩展该基金会。然后，资源将被包装成可转让的工具包，最终可以扩展到600,000名志愿者和3,500名教育工作者，目前有助于LGU内的4小时编程，并有可能为CISE社区的许多其他成员打开大门，以定期为4H的活动做出4H活动。这些奖励通过NSF的授权和授予的授权依据，以表现为4H的活动。 标准。
