Attracting diverse youth to computer science professions is important to our national interests and to provide economic opportunity. EdASE engages high school students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a remote video game design and software development summer camp.
Through teamwork activities, participating youth develop and practice communication and collaboration skills while growing their professional knowledge and skills to prepare them for potential careers in computer science.
Embedding student learning in a virtual summer camp environment provides participating high schoolers with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills for remote work, which is increasingly common in computer science careers.
