Young Women Growing Up Thinking Computationally (YO-GUTC) is the joint evolution of two successful broadening participation in computing programs: the Young Women in Computing program at New Mexico State University and the GUTS y Girls program at Santa Fe Institute. YO-GUTC is a 3-year program, targeting at least 120 high school women, and composed of a series of intensive summer workshops and community celebrations of young women in computing in the Las Cruces and the Santa Fe areas of New Mexico. YO-GUTC explores why some young Hispanic females who are interested in computer science majors or careers decide to leave the pipeline in high school while others persist.YO-GUTC will design, implement and evaluate instructional materials for summer workshops, develop an online community and social network, and study whether addressing the preparation gap, building community and online support systems, and aligning computing with Hispanic cultural values, can sustain young women's participation and interest in computing. Through longitudinal (over 3 years) interviews and surveys, students will be asked to share narratives about their developing computer science identities, computer science participation, and aspirations. YO-GUTC will pose research questions related to the underrepresentation of Hispanic women in computing, and investigate interventions to increase and sustain their interest and participation.

计算思维成长中的年轻女性 (YO-GUTC) 是两个成功扩大计算参与范围的联合发展：新墨西哥州立大学的年轻女性计算项目和圣达菲研究所的 GUTS y Girls 项目。 YO-GUTC 是一个为期 3 年的计划，针对至少 120 名高中女性，由一系列密集的夏季研讨会和新墨西哥州拉斯克鲁塞斯和圣达菲地区计算机领域的年轻女性社区庆祝活动组成。 YO-GUTC 探讨了为什么一些对计算机科学专业或职业感兴趣的年轻西班牙裔女性决定在高中放弃学业，而其他人却坚持不懈。YO-GUTC 将为夏季研讨会设计、实施和评估教学材料，开发在线社区和社交网络，并研究解决准备差距、建立社区和在线支持系统以及使计算与西班牙文化价值观保持一致是否可以维持年轻女性对计算的参与和兴趣。通过纵向（超过 3 年）的访谈和调查，学生将被要求分享有关他们发展中的计算机科学身份、计算机科学参与和愿望的叙述。 YO-GUTC 将提出与西班牙裔女性在计算机领域代表性不足相关的研究问题，并调查提高和维持她们的兴趣和参与的干预措施。
