| dc.description.abstract | We conducted a week-long summer camp to promote interest in computer science
among middle-school students. The camp primarily used self-paced video tutorials to
teach programming concepts using the App Inventor for Android programming
environment. Based on strong interest from students and parents as well as positive
survey feedback, we conclude that the camp was very successful. We have made the
camp resources, including 36 video tutorials, freely available at
http://artsci.drake.edu/mathcs/appcamp, and they may be used in future camps at any
institution. | en_US |
