There is a critical need to increase the number of skilled technology workers within the United States, with computing skills becoming increasingly important as the nation moves further into the 21st century. This need is fueled by the realization that the number of tech workers needed to maintain political and economic security far outweighs the current workers available now or in the immediate future. To increase interest, commercial, governmental, and not-for-profit educational groups have sponsored numerous initiatives aimed to bring computing to more students, recently with a K-12 emphasis. This project seeks to determine the long-term impact of these activities as a mechanism for growing the skilled technology workforce within the United States. The goal of this project is to create the resources and tools necessary for identifying best practices for identifying the long term impact of these pre-college computing activities on participants, including analyses of data based on gender and ethnicity. The project's scope will include two phases: 1) the identification, review, and analysis of past and current pre-college computing activities and their impact on participants to determine the major influencing variables and 2) the creation and implementation of a formal process for collecting data related to pre-college computing activities, including major influencing variables, necessary for educational researchers to be able to evaluate and analyze the long-term impact of these activities. Two significant outputs from this project are the creation of instruments available for measuring the long-term effects of pre-college computing efforts; and measurement results from using these instruments to evaluate the effects of current and past pre-college computing efforts.

迫切需要增加美国境内熟练的技术工作者的数量，随着国家进入21世纪的进一步发展，计算技能变得越来越重要。意识到维持政治和经济安全所需的技术工人的数量远远超过了当前或不久的将来可用的工人，这一需求是为了促进这种需求。为了增加兴趣，商业，政府和非营利性教育团体，他们赞助了许多旨在将计算机带给更多学生的举措，最近重点是K-12。该项目旨在确定这些活动的长期影响，以此作为发展美国境内熟练技术劳动力的机制。 该项目的目的是创建确定最佳实践所需的资源和工具，以确定这些预科预算计算活动对参与者的长期影响，包括基于性别和种族的数据分析。该项目的范围将包括两个阶段：1）对过去和当前的预科计算活动的识别，审查和分析及其对参与者的影响，以确定主要影响变量的主要影响和2）为收集与大学前计算活动相关的数据的创建和实施，以进行教育研究人员，以评估和分析以下方式，以使这些数据具有重大影响的影响和分析，以使这些活动能够评估和分析，并分析以这些方式分析以下来分析以下这些以这些方式来分析以下这些活动。该项目的两个重要输出是创建可用于衡量预科计算工作的长期影响的工具。以及使用这些工具来评估当前和过去大学前计算工作的影响的结果。
