Abstract
We present several activities used in the two-week PipeLINK summer program for high school girls. These hands-on activities and interactive talks, presented mostly by female faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students, showed the girls the wide range of opportunities in the field of computer science

Preparation of high school computer science teachers: the Israeli perspective
SIGCSE '09: Proceedings of the 40th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationThis special session examines frameworks for the preparation of high school computer science (CS) teachers from the Israeli perspective. Specifically, several Israeli CS teacher preparation programs and their components are presented. The presentation ...
Changing perceptions of computer science and computational thinking among high school teachers
Interest in specific college majors begins in high school. The influence of high school math and science teachers is important, both for high school preparation of future computer science undergraduates, and for the understanding and interest in ...
