BPC-DP: A Developmental Community for Recruiting and Maintaining Women in CISE Education

宾夕法尼亚州立大学建议通过创建一个发展性学习社区来增加进入计算的女性人数：一个包括高中女生，CISE专业的本科女性以及女性教师和校友专业人员的社区，这些专业人员参与协作活动，在年轻女性遇到和参与计算的概念和实践时，帮助她们参与，理解和技能。社区将为年轻成员提供导师和社会模型在CISE职业生涯的多个阶段。一些社区互动将是面对面的，但在大多数情况下，该集团将通过在线社区系统进行维护和增强。通过参与式设计过程，女本科生将开发和提供讲习班，其中高中女生一起工作，建立专门设计的软件应用程序，以吸引他们。校友将为本科社区成员开发类似的研讨会。在规划和开展这些外联活动的过程中，社区成员将开发和使用一个在线社区系统，以便开展协作工作。

The Pennsylvania State University proposes to increase the number of women entering computing by creating a developmental learning community: A community including high school girls, undergraduate women in CISE majors, and female faculty and alumni professionals engaged in collaborative activities that scaffold the participation, understanding, and skills of young women as they encounter and engage the concepts and practices of computing. The community will provide younger members with mentors and social models at multiple stages of CISE careers. Some community interactions will be face-to-face, but for the most part the group will be maintained and enhanced through an on-line community system. Through a participatory design process, female undergraduates will develop and deliver workshops in which high school girls' work together to build software applications specifically designed to appeal to them. The alumni will develop similar workshops for the undergraduate community members. In the course of planning and fielding these outreach activities; community members will develop and use an online community system for their collaborative work.
