Abstract

Declining enrollments in computer science are a cause of great concern. There has been a 30% decline in enrollments in computer science bachelor programs over this decade and more than a 50% decline in the enrollment of women in computer science [1]. This paper describes a unique way of attracting excellent students to the major by inviting students and their teachers to a day of exploration and competition hosted by our college. The program has demonstrated an increased awareness of computer science among the students and faculty who attend the day-long event. By including teachers and guidance counselors in the day's events, we hope to give them a better understanding of computer science curricula and careers to bring back to their high schools.
