The number of undergraduate students studying computer science is not keeping pace with demand. Studies have shown that middle school is a key age in which students develop an interest in the sciences. This article presents the results of a pre and post camp survey of students to determine the impact of a summer computer camp on students' attitudes about computer science. The results show that the camp had a positive impact and camp participants may have had a predisposition to computers. |
