A roadshow outreach program is an inclusive, activity-based classroom experience that gives K-12 students an exciting introduction to computing. Many college and university computer science departments are "taking the show on the road" to inform and recruit youth with roadshows. Undergraduate students, "near peers" to their intended audience, train to present lively, personalized, hands-on – and most importantly – memorable learning experiences that students remember as they start imagining their future.
Many adults recall an experience in youth that set them on their career path. Roadshow-in-a-Box provides the resources you need to design a memorable and motivating program.
