—-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:
- Complete a 9-question pre-survey before starting the study’s activities, and a 5 question demographics information
(7 minutes). - 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.
- 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.
