Intel Next Generation of Native Coders:

Applied Computer Science Principles and Career Readiness Course

 

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) has partnered with Intel to expand computer science education and career readiness in schools in Arizona, California, and Oregon serving Native American students.

 

This project aims to increase the number of Native American students in the technology and engineering fields, in academia and professionally.

The Intel Next Generation of Native Coders project is a continued collaboration between AISES and Intel. AISES is excited to expand the initiative, which started with three schools on the Navajo Nation Reservation, by offering the Applied Computer Science Principles and Career Readiness Course to four additional schools! This two-semester course combines applied computer science, engineering, and college and career readiness in technology and engineering fields. The course features culturally-contextualized lessons to further engage Native learners.

The goal of the course is to engage students and prepare them for computer science degrees and careers through:

  • Hands-on independent projects
  • Technical education integrating Native culture
  • Interactive computer science (CS) skill-building activities
  • Professional and peer mentorship, and
  • College, career, and leadership development
Requirements of Eligible Schools
  • Schools in Arizona, Oregon, and California
  • Schools must already provide beginner level computer science (or related) content class
  • Willingness to schedule this class as a stand-alone computer science class (grades 9-12)
  • Access to a computer lab (stationary or mobile)
  • Ability to video conference in the classroom
  • Willing teacher and supportive administration
Benefits
  • Teacher training is provided
  • Fully developed applied-computer science course curriculum
  • Course equipment and supplies: 3-D printer, drones, weather balloon kits, Go-Pros cameras, Sphero robots and Samsung tablets, and other lesson supplies.
  • Mentor support from current Intel employees
  • Students will gain many of the skills and knowledge needed to be a successful candidate for college acceptance
  • Academic year curriculum support from AISES staff for teachers
  • Academic year support from Intel and AISES professional mentors who are in the fields of computer science, engineering, and related careers
