Broadening Participation in Computing: It Starts before College

1  

The  compu-ng  community  in  the  U.S.  faces  three  significant  and  interrelated  challenges  in  workforce  development.    

• Underproduc-on  of  degrees  • Underrepresenta-on  • Lack  of  a  presence  in  K-­‐12

Female  %  of  STEM  Undergrads  

In  2010,  underrepresented  minori-es        

– Received  just  10.6%  of  the  bachelor  degrees,  4.8%  of  the  masters,  and  3.6%  of  the  PhDs.    

 

– Only  49  of  1,620  Ph.D.s  were  awarded  to  African  Americans  or  Hispanics.

• Underproduc-on  of  degrees  • Underrepresenta-on  • Lack  of  a  presence  in  K-­‐12

 •  No  research  base  •  Not  taught  in  most  schools  

     The  percentage  of  U.S.  high  school  students  taking  STEM  courses  has  increased  over  the  last  20  years  for  all  STEM  disciplines

Compu-ng  Educa-on  for  the  21st  Century  

 GOAL:  Increase  number  and  diversity  of  K-­‐14  students  and  teachers  who  develop  and  prac-ce  computa-onal  competencies,  so  that  students  have  the  necessary  interest  and  skills  to  pursue  degrees  in  compu-ng  and  computa-onally-­‐intensive  fields

High  School  is  key.  

11/8/11   17  

Why  High  School?    •  We  need  to  do  much  becer  there  

•  Without  the  HS  piece,  anything  we  do  for  middle  school  will  be  lost.  

•  Without  the  HS  piece,  anything    we  do  at  the  college  level  will      be  insufficient.

CS  10K  Project  

       Develop  effec-ve  new  high  school  compu-ng  curricula  and  get  that  curricula  into  courses  taught  in  10,000  schools  by  10,000  well-­‐prepared  teachers  by  2015.

Why  AP?  

•  Ohen  the  only  CS  course  that  carries  college  prep  credit  

•  Acrac-ve  to  students  &  schools  •  2,000  CB-­‐audited  teachers  •  Single  point  of  na-onal  leverage  •  Fidelity  of  replica-on
