Project Rise Up CSP - 2016-2017 |
1. General Information
The Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) is conducting a research project to help broaden participation in computing. We are currently accepting applications for this program from underrepresented students in Georgia who are taking an Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles course during the 2016-2017 school year.
The details for the program are:
1) Apply to be part of the program by filling out this survey. Be sure to click submit on each page. The survey has several pages. You are not done till you see the "Thank You" page. Be sure to enter a valid e-mail address and cell phone number as these are the primary ways we will communicate with you.
2) The student must attend a required meeting on Sunday, February 19th, with at least one parent or guardian from 1pm - 4pm in room 1443 of the Klaus Advanced Computing Building. We will send you directions via e-mail. At the meeting parent's will fill out a consent form and students will fill out an assent form to be part of this research project. Students will also take a pre attitude survey and a pretest of their knowledge of AP CSP concepts.
3) Students who enroll in the research project (by providing consent and assent forms) are encouraged to attend at least four help sessions. A three-hour in-person help session will be offered at least once a month at Georgia Tech and remote one-hour help sessions will be offered at least twice a week. There will also be one-on-one remote help sessions, on request.
4) If the student sends in his or her score by the end of July s/he will be entered into a drawing for a prize worth $150 to $200.
5) The student may also be asked to participate in interviews or focus groups as part of the evaluation of this project.
