Broadening Participation to Include African American and Hispanic Students with Disabilities in Computer Science Learning using Voice User Interface Project-Based Learning

这个名为“利用语音用户界面（Voice User Interface）扩大非裔美国人和西班牙裔残疾学生参与计算机科学学习”的项目是一个为期三年的preK-12衔接课程项目。该项目旨在研究和提高非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔残疾人对计算机科学教育和职业的兴趣、参与、学习、知识和坚持。本研究将采用准实验方法，调查活动对地区社区服务政策和实施的影响。改变期望公司将利用其现有的教师网络在改变期望WeTeach_CS协作计算机科学教育实践社区，德克萨斯州学区的从业者，特殊教育工作者，研究人员和评估人员组成残疾学生计算机科学研究联盟（SWDCS）。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project on Broadening Participation to Include African American and Hispanic Students with Disabilities in Computer Science Learning using Voice User Interface Project-Based Learning is a three-year project in the preK-12 pathways strand. The project is designed to study and increase African Americans and Hispanics with disabilities' interest, engagement, learning, knowledge, and persistence in computer science education (CS) and careers. The study will employ quasi-experimental methods to investigate the effects of activities on district CS policies and implementation. Changing Expectations Corporation will leverage its existing network of teachers in the Changing Expectations WeTeach_CS Collaborative Computer Science Education Community of Practice, practitioners in Texas school districts, special educators, researchers and evaluators to form the Students with Disabilities in Computer Science Research Alliance (SWDCS).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.
