YWIC Summer Camps: What's Next?

What's Next?

1. NCWIT Aspirations in Computing (AiC) provides a long-term community for female technologists, from K-12 through higher education and beyond [...] The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing honors young women at the high-school level for their computing-related achievements and interests.
Be on the look out for application information. To learn more, click on the picture to the the left.

2. YWiC hosts an after-school program during the fall and spring semesters. Be on the look out for more information about meeting times and dates on our website ywic.nmsu.edu.

3. Interested in Supercomputing? YWiC is more than happy to host a team if your school does not have a team with a sponsoring teacher, if you want a team made up of participants at several schools, or a team made up of participants in different grade levels (high school, middle school). If you are interested please contact Clara: cgraham@cs.nmsu.edu.

4. YWiC is hoping to sponsor an all girls robotics team this coming school year. Be on the look out for more information at our website ywic.nmsu.edu.

Three things we are asking you to complete before the showcase.

1. End of Camp Interview

2. Retrospective Survey (Link Below)

3. Organizing and Sharing your Portfolio

Tips for Portfolio:

1. Copy, paste, and combine all blog posts in one document.

2. Answer the requested 8 questions in the same document.

(A title on this section, is greatly appreciated)

3. Screen shots of code/screens and pictures of physical project.

Final Questions

1. Provide an overview of your project/artifact. (For example: I designed a video game using Scratch programming where the player, or snowman, has to catch 5 snowflakes and avoid the flying flames.)

2. What were the important learning targets of this project/artifact? (What were the requirements for the project?)

3. What were the computer science concepts used for this project/artifact? (Variables, loops, conditional statements, functions, lists/arrays, methods, etc.)

4. What were the computational thinking principles used for this project/artifact? (Abstraction, algorithms, correctness, efficiency, iteration or loop statements, variables, etc.)

5. How does this project/artifact relate to the “real” world? What did you learn or use that will help you outside the classroom?

6. In this project/artifact, what did you particularly want others to notice?

7. What would you improve if you could do this over again?

8. Does this project/artifact reflect the effort you put into it? Why or why not?
