The Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) alliance is offering a workshop to help start and run financially self-sustaining computing summer camps. We will also accept applications for up to $4999.99 in "seed" funds to buy equipment. Barbara Ericson from Georgia Tech will be leading this workshop. The Institute for Computing Education (ICE) at Georgia Tech has been running non-residential computing summer camps since 2004.
These camps are financially self-sustaining and the camps get statistically significant changes in student's attitudes towards computing and in knowledge of computing concepts.
