“…In an effort strengthen the pipeline, untraditional models have been found to be effective in the recruiting and retention of these populations. Moreover, the literature suggests (e.g., DeWitt et al, 2017) that interventions addressing these disparities should begin at an age where students are still open to changing their viewpoints. A vast amount of literature exists on STEM and computer science camps that take an informal approach to learning.…”

DesignYOU! Code Camp is a grant-funded summer outreach camp designed to increase interest in coding and STEM careers among middle school students (6th -8th graders) through an innovative, immersive summer camp experience. To make the concepts of coding more palpable, researchers incorporated fashion and retail allowing students to learn through practical applications of the concepts taught. This paper outlines the planning, logistics, and lessons learned from the second iteration of the DesignYOU! Code Camp. Overall, both parents and students expressed satisfaction with the camp while student interest in coding increased. Successes and challenges from implementing the DesignYOU! Code Camp are discussed.

As schools endeavor to provide all students with access to computational thinking and computer science, the hackathon emerges as a competitive and high-energy event that uses authentic problems to motivate learners to engage in the domain of computing. This article presents the design case of a hackathon for teenagers as enacted over five iterations by faculty and staff at a Southeastern public university in the United States. Given a problem in the local community, participating teenagers collaborated in a mentor-supported environment to design, develop, and communicate software-based solutions. Using trustworthiness from naturalistic inquiry as a guiding approach to build the design case, our methods draw on multiple data sources, peer debriefing, member checks, and thick description. This design case contributes detailed descriptions and design rationales related to the youth hackathon’s evolving features. It provides all levels of designers with useful pedagogical and logistical resources to support efforts to enact hackathons in novel settings.
