摘要：
Minority students are not entering computing fields due to inadequate exposure in K-12 curricula. Online computing environments are effective at exposing more minority students to computing concepts before college. An HBCU hosted a virtual camp during COVID-19 to teach minority adolescent students the fundamentals of app development using MIT App Inventor, an app-development platform that allows its users to build fully functional apps for smartphones and tablets. The camp aimed to foster youth innovation and creativity through empowering students to create rather than simply use technology in their lives. Participants in the program showed an increase in wanting to pursue ongoing computing education.
