The University of California, Irvine proposes an American Indian Summer Institute in Computer Science (AISICS) that aims to broaden participation in the computer sciences by actively engaging American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) students in cross-disciplinary culturally relevant hands-on information and computer science educational and social activities. For each of three summers, AI/AN high school students will work with computer science professors, graduate students, undergraduates, and high school teachers to develop interactive story projects. These projects will utilize technologies and concepts used in computer game development, will draw on the significant interest that many high school students feel for computer games, and will provide a means to present culture and history shared by American Indian storytellers in a modern context. About 100 AI/AN high school students will experience a cross-disciplinary culturally relevant curriculum, and their work will become part of a repository that provides a resource for digital curricular content made available to K-12 educators. The students will also participate in an American Indian studies course, a communication skills course, and informational workshops about college and the college admissions process. UC Irvine has offered a previous model of AISICS for eleven summers since 1991. This new AISICS project will enhance the partnership among the University, Title VII American Indian high school education programs, and other American Indian organizations.

加州大学欧文分校提议设立美洲印第安人计算机科学夏季学院 (AISICS)，旨在通过积极让美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民 (AI/AN) 学生参与跨学科的文化相关实践，扩大对计算机科学的参与信息和计算机科学教育和社会活动。 每年三个夏天，AI/AN 高中生将与计算机科学教授、研究生、本科生和高中教师合作开发互动故事项目。 这些项目将利用计算机游戏开发中使用的技术和概念，将利用许多高中生对计算机游戏的浓厚兴趣，并将提供一种在现代背景下呈现美国印第安故事讲述者所共享的文化和历史的方法。大约 100 名 AI/AN 高中生将体验跨学科的文化相关课程，他们的作品将成为存储库的一部分，该存储库为 K-12 教育工作者提供数字课程内容资源。学生还将参加美国印第安人研究课程、沟通技巧课程以及有关大学和大学招生流程的信息研讨会。加州大学欧文分校自 1991 年起连续 11 个暑假提供 AISICS 的先前模式。这个新的 AISICS 项目将加强大学、第七条美洲印第安人高中教育计划和其他美洲印第安人组织之间的合作关系。
