This project aims to serve the national interest by building consensus for a united vision of undergraduate computing education around the areas of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessible learning. The goal of this project is to move the needle on several of computing’s biggest challenges in undergraduate programs. Examples of challenges include how to manage booming enrollments in computing without damaging diversity efforts and how to widen a domestic path to PhD programs. Computing education continues to face challenges around inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessible learning. While several departments and colleges are achieving major successes in these areas, many others are lagging. Change is possible with a coordinated effort among computing department leaders and faculty. All universities and colleges need to “LEVEL UP” and implement the best practices that broaden participation in computing. To achieve the goal of developing consensus on a shared vision of change, a series of regional workshops will be held where faculty across the country will meet and build consensus around inclusive computing education. The project will utilize an equity lens and involve several NSF BPC Alliances and BPC community members. The results of the workshops will be compiled, summarized, and disseminated nationwide in an evidence-based report of best practices towards inclusive computing. This project will involve faculty from diverse institutions, representatives of the NSF Broadening Participation in Computing Alliances, and an advisory board of highly respected computing educators and professionals. The advisory board will coordinate the creation of the final report.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.

该项目旨在通过围绕包容性，多样性，公平性和无障碍学习领域建立本科计算教育的统一愿景来服务于国家利益。这个项目的目标是移动针在计算的几个最大的挑战，在本科课程。挑战的例子包括如何在不破坏多样性努力的情况下管理蓬勃发展的计算机入学人数，以及如何拓宽国内博士课程的途径。计算教育继续面临着包容性，多样性，公平性和可访问学习的挑战。虽然有几个系和学院在这些领域取得了重大成功，但其他许多系和学院却落后了。通过计算机系领导和教职员工之间的协调努力，改变是可能的。所有的大学和学院都需要“升级”，并实施扩大参与计算的最佳实践。为了实现就共同的变革愿景达成共识的目标，将举办一系列区域研讨会，全国各地的教师将在研讨会上会面，并围绕包容性计算教育达成共识。该项目将利用股权透镜，并涉及几个NSF BPC联盟和BPC社区成员。讲习班的成果将在一份关于包容性计算最佳做法的循证报告中汇编、总结并在全国范围内传播。该项目将涉及来自不同机构的教师，NSF扩大参与计算联盟的代表，以及备受尊敬的计算教育工作者和专业人士的咨询委员会。该奖项反映了NSF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。
