SIGCSE 2007 Poster Proposal A Novel Multidisciplinary Service Learning Program with a Computer Science Foundation

Significance and Relevance of the Topic This poster describes two years of a successful service learning summer program that combines elements of computer science, and other sciences, within a theatre-based context. The focus of the program is the development by teen participants, under the mentorship of a multidisciplinary team of faculty and undergraduate students, of a Harry Potter-esque [1] magic school at which science is taught to inner-city children in an interactive and magical way, with the goal of creating a positive draw to the sciences (including computer science). With a foundation of several computer science elements, the program involves extensive collaboration among science and theatre faculty and a number of outside organizations.
