  1. CS Principles and the CS 10K Initiative Thinking Big and Driving Forward for the Future Brook Osborne Amy Briggs Rebecca Dovi Joanna Goode Don Yanek

  2. Understanding the problem: Demand Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  3. Where Will the STEM Jobs Be? Computing and mathematics is one of the TOP 10 fastest growing major occupational groups 2010-2020. 150,000+job openings in computing annually. 1 in every 2 STEM jobs will be in computing in 2020.

  4. Degrees and Jobs in the US Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  5. Understanding the problem: Supply Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  6. Enrollment in AP STEM classes, 1997-2011 Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  7. AP CS A, 1999-2011 Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  8. AP CS A: 2013 This year, AP CS A experienced the highest growth across all APs, but the percentages didn’t change. Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  9. Female Percentages of STEM Undergrad Degrees, 1970 - 2011 Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  10. Working to address the problem: ECS and CSP Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  11. Amy Briggs Middlebury College Co-PI, Computer Science Principles Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  12. Opportunity, Knowledge, Jobs The new Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (CSP) course offers students a chance to begin to explore their interests, to achieve college credit or placement, and prepare for the jobs of the future. Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  13. What is AP Computer Science Principles? • Will be a College Board Advanced Placement course in 2016-2017. • Designed to be rigorous, engaging, and effective in targeting all students, across all demographics • Will have been piloted for six years before exam year, pilots started in 2010, unprecedented acceptance from both high schools and colleges/universities • Enthusiastic support from industry and professional partners • Performance task portion of assessment encourages collaboration Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  14. Our Elevator Pitch for Computer Science Principles Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  15. Built on Big Ideas • Computing is a creative activity • Abstraction reduces information and detail to facilitate focus on relevant concepts • Data and information facilitate the creation of knowledge • Algorithms are used to develop and express solutions to computational problems • Programming enables problem solving, human expression, and creation of knowledge • The Internet pervades modern computing • Computing has global impacts Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  16. Focuses on Computational Thinking Practices • Connecting computing • Developing computational artifacts • Abstracting • Analyzing problems and artifacts • Communicating • Collaborating Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  18. Big Data and Machine Learning: Cancer and Education “By using technology in the service of education, we can change the world in our lifetime.” Daphne Koller http://nyti.ms/10r4m39 Ted Talk on education: http://bit.ly/12tCAqr Coursera is well-funded http://dthin.gs/ZGv8Rf Cancer Team Trains Computer to Evaluate Breast Cancer http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2011/november/computer.html Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  19. Human Computation Luis von Ahn – helped invent Human Computation. People solve problems using computers that computers can’t solve by themselves. Bits & Bytes: http://nsf.gov/cise/csbytes/newsletter/vol1i1.html Crowdsourcing can help translate the web into other languages and to digitize old books and newspapers Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13

  20. Current Plans for CSP Assessment • Administered as a computer-based assessment • Fixed-response questions: ensure rigor, assess content knowledge • Performance tasks: engage students with topics that interest them, enable students to show creativity, explore impact of computing Investigate – Bits to Information to Knowledge Explore – Implications of Computing Innovations Create – Applications from Ideas Students will: • Work in collaboration with another student • Submit written reflections • Interpret and present their ideas in a written work Grace Hopper 2013 - 10/3/13
