This paper describes CyberCivics, a novel approach to computer science outreach that integrates hands-on computing experiences with the study of contemporary social and political issues. We provide details of one such curriculum, focused on electronic voting, that we used with a high school AP Government course in Spring 2007. We describe our experience with this curriculum and how it enabled us to reach a larger, more diverse and more academically prepared group of students than prior outreach efforts targeted directly at computing courses. We also suggest a number of alternative approaches to outreach based on the CyberCivics idea.
本文介绍了CyberCivics,这是一种将计算机实践经验与当代社会和政治问题的研究相结合的新型计算机科学扩展方法。我们提供了此类课程的详细信息,该课程侧重于电子投票,我们于2007年春季在高中AP政府课程中使用了该课程。我们描述了该课程的经验以及它如何使我们获得更大,更多样化和更学术上的准备与之前的外展活动相比,学生群体直接针对计算机课程。我们还基于CyberCivics的想法,建议了多种替代方法。 P>
