Spelman College together with Carnegie Mellon University propose an integrated set of three educational programs to broaden the participation of African Americans in computing. The first is a series of two-week Computer And Robotics Education (CARE) summer camps for African American middle school students, with follow-up activities during the school year. The second is an annual CARE Computer Olympiad for African American undergraduates, which will build on successful Olympiads already held at Spelman. This program will expand into a series of regional fall Olympiads followed by a national Olympiad in the spring. The third is a CARE Robotics course in "cognitive robotics" to be jointly developed with Carnegie Mellon University. The course will jump start robotics education at HBCU's by providing state of the art robotics equipment (Sony AIBO robot dogs), lecture notes and other curriculum materials, along with the necessary faculty training and technical support. The course will use the Tekkotsu software framework under development at Carnegie Mellon. One-day Tekkotsu workshops will also be offered during the National Olympiads to familiarize additional HBCU faculty and selected students with this new technology. Both the Olympiad competition and the course will be disseminated to other HBCU's over the course of the proposed grant.

斯佩尔曼学院与卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）一起提出了一组综合的教育计划，以扩大非洲裔美国人的参与计算。第一个是一系列为期两周的计算机和机器人教育（护理）夏令营，为非裔美国中学学生提供，在学年中进行了后续活动。第二个是针对非裔美国人本科生的年度护理计算机奥林匹克运动会，该奥林匹克运动会将基于已经在斯佩尔曼举行的成功奥林匹克运动会。该计划将扩展到一系列地区秋季奥林匹克运动会，然后在春季举行全国奥林匹克运动会。第三个是与卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）共同开发的“认知机器人技术”中的护理机器人课程。该课程将通过提供最先进的机器人设备（Sony Aibo Robot Dogs），讲义和其他课程材料，以及必要的教师培训和技术支持，从而在HBCU的HBCU开始机器人教育。该课程将使用卡内基·梅隆（Carnegie Mellon）开发的Tekkotsu软件框架。在国家奥林匹克运动会期间，还将提供为期一天的Tekkotsu研讨会，以熟悉HBCU的其他教职员工，并选择了这项新技术的学生。在拟议的赠款的过程中，奥林匹克竞赛和课程都将分为其他HBCU。
