Georgia Computes! Summer Computer Camps Survey Results

Abstract

Summer camps are a popular form of outreach for colleges and universities. But, it is not enough to offer computing summer camps and hope that students like them. The camps should be effective by some measure, such as broadening participation by underrepresented groups and/or increasing learning. Summer camps should also be financially sustainable, so that institutions can continue to offer them regularly. The summer camps at Georgia Tech have become effective and financially sustainable. This dataset reports on the evaluation results from Georgia Tech summer camps, as well as seven other colleges and universities in Georgia that offered computing summer camps during the summer of 2012 with assistance from Georgia Tech.
