Welcome!

CyberCivics was developed as a Computer Science outreach program, designed to introduce diverse groups of talented high school students to hands-on activities that reflect the myriad ways in which computing technologies directly impact their everyday lives. The materials provided here were developed for the pilot offering during the Spring 2007 semester and one follow-on offering in Fall 2008.

We sincerely hope these materials will prove useful to K-12 educators and others involved in Computer Science outreach activities. We welcome your comments and suggestions. We also look forward to seeing curriculum materials developed by others who may be involved in similar outreach efforts.
