—-Initial outreach and invitation to join the study below!—-

Do you want your child between ages 11 - 15 to explore computer science as a future career?

If yes, consider allowing them to participate in a free online research study that gets students learning and thinking about computer science, and that explores their attitudes about a career in the profession. Participants in this study will: 

  1. Complete a 9-question pre-survey before starting the study’s activities, and a 5 question demographics information (7 minutes). 
  2. Participate in online activities learning about computer science. (1hr 45-minutes).
    • Learn why future computer science professionals are highly needed.
    • Learn about coding, and create an app using the Python coding/computer programming language.
    • Learn about cybersecurity and why such future professionals are in high need.
    • Learn about Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science through practicing these concepts and techniques.
  3. Complete a 9-question post-survey after completing the study’s activities (4-minutes).

If your child participates, they will be asked questions in the surveys about:

  • Their capability of achieving goals related to computer science learning.
  • Their beliefs about their outcomes of engaging in computer science.
  • Five demographic questions.
