BPC-AE: Collaborative Research: Extending "Georgia Computes!": A Statewide Vertical Alliance to Broaden Participation through Innovative, Inviting, and Relevant Computing Education

格鲁吉亚理工学院与哥伦布州立大学合作，提出了一个扩展“格鲁吉亚计算！“联盟。格鲁吉亚计算！在改善全州各级的计算机教育方面取得了巨大的进步。它的努力从四年级的夏令营开始，并通过与女童子军、女青年会和酷女孩的夏令营和外联活动继续到中学，通过夏令营和教师专业发展延伸到高中，并通过教师讲习班结束本科教育。格鲁吉亚电脑！成功包括参加计算机讲习班的女童子军人数呈指数增长，创建了八个新的区域计算机夏令营，提供高级安置计算机科学（APCS）的机构数量翻了一番，参加APCS考试的西班牙裔学生人数翻了一番，以及格鲁吉亚大学系统中四分之一的计算机课程的变化。有了这个扩展，他们建议扩大和扩大他们的联盟干预。格鲁吉亚计算！将扩大其教师教育的努力，包括两个区域中心的专业知识，在哥伦布州和阿姆斯特朗大西洋州立大学。为了在全州提供在职讲习班，它将开发在线材料，包括提供在线访问格鲁吉亚新的计算机科学教学认可的课程。格鲁吉亚电脑！将扩大其已经成功的K-12推广工作，以帮助学生发展更广泛的计算定义。它将使用更多样化的学生导师，包括高中生和残疾本科生。最重要的是，该扩展将创建基础设施，用于仔细测量该州各个大学的计算程序，并跟踪从车间和营地到高中课程到大学学位的个人。

The Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with Columbus State University proposes an extension to the "Georgia Computes!" Alliance. Georgia Computes! has made dramatic strides in improving computing education throughout the state, at all levels of the pipeline. Its efforts start at 4th grade with summer camps, and continue through middle school with camps and outreach with the Girl Scouts, YWCA, and Cool Girls, extend to high school with camps and teacher professional development, and end in undergraduate education with faculty workshops. Georgia Computes! successes include exponential growth in the number of Girl Scouts taking their computing workshops, the creation of eight new regional summer computing camps, a doubling of the number of institutions offering Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS), a doubling of the number of Hispanic students taking the APCS exam, and change at a quarter of the computing programs in the University System of Georgia. With this Extension, they propose to scale, and broaden their alliance interventions. Georgia Computes! will grow its teacher education efforts to include two regional centers of expertise, at Columbus State and at Armstrong Atlantic State University. In order to offer inservice workshops throughout the state, it will develop on-line materials, including courses that provide on-line access to Georgia's new computer science teaching endorsement. Georgia Computes! will grow its already successful K-12 outreach efforts to help students to develop a broader definition of computing. It will use more diverse student mentors, including high school students and disabled undergraduate students. Most importantly, this Extension will create infrastructure for careful measurement of individual university computing programs in the state and to track individuals from workshops and camps, through high school classes, to university degrees.
