00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.338
>>GERRY: AS SOME KIDS ATTEND
SPORTS, MUSIC OR YMCA CAMPS THIS
SUMMER, IN TERRE HAUTE, FIRST
THROUGH EIGHTH GRADERS ARE

2
00:00:05.338 --> 00:00:11.644
IMMERSING INTO CODING CAMPS.
"CONNECTING WITH CODE" AT
ROSE-HULMAN IS TEACHING
YOUNGSTERS THE IMPORTANCE OF

3
00:00:11.644 --> 00:00:17.016
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING AND
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.
THE CO-DIRECTOR OF THE CAMP,
DAVID FISHER IS HERE WITH MORE

4
00:00:17.016 --> 00:00:28.561
ON HOW THE CAMP FITS INTO THE
SCHOOL'S STRATEGIC PLAN TO
EDUCATE MORE FEMALES FOR STEM
CAREER FIELDS.

5
00:00:28.561 --> 00:00:34.567
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM.
>> THANKS.
>> SECOND YEAR FOR CONNECTING
WITH CODE.

6
00:00:34.567 --> 00:00:41.141
TALK ABOUT THIS CAMP AND REALLY
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
>> THE CAMP IS A SUMMER CAMP
SO THERE'S ACTUALLY SIX

7
00:00:41.141 --> 00:00:48.715
DIFFERENT CAMPS THIS YEAR SO WE
RU3 IT OVER THREE WEEKS 1:00 IN
THE MORNING AND 1:00 IN THE
AFTERNOON FOR YOUNGER KIDS IN

8
00:00:48.715 --> 00:00:55.655
GENERAL SO THE MORNING GROUP
FIRST THROUGH FIFTH GRADE AND
AFTERNOON IS 6-8.
LAST YEAR WE HAD ABOUT 48 PEOPLE

9
00:00:55.655 --> 00:01:03.997
AND THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED AND
THIS YEAR WE HAVE EXPANDED.
IT'S BEEN POPULAR WE ARE AROUND
106 THIS YEAR.

10
00:01:03.997 --> 00:01:11.838
>> AN INTERESTING ASPECT JUST
A PORTION OF THE CAMP,
REGISTRATION, FEMALES ACTUALLY
OUTNUMBER THE MALES.

11
00:01:11.838 --> 00:01:21.714
>> IT IS ONE OF OUR BIG PUSHES
FOR THE CAMPUS TO TRY TO GET
MORE WOMEN INTERESTED IN CODING.
AND THE U.S. WE ARE AT ABOUT 16-

12
00:01:21.714 --> 00:01:29.689
17 PERCENT FEMALES WHICH IS
CRAZY.
WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY
WE ARE LOSING FEMALES AND THEY

13
00:01:29.689 --> 00:01:34.894
ARE UNDERREPRESENTED AND WE
THINK IT COMES DOWN TO THE
OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCE I
GET AT AN EARLY AGE SO WE ARE

14
00:01:34.894 --> 00:01:44.170
TRYING TO GET MORE WOMEN TO JOIN
AND IT'S INTERESTING THE FIRST
THROUGH FIFTH GRADE CAMP THIS
YEAR 65 PERCENT FEMALE WHICH IS

15
00:01:44.170 --> 00:01:49.709
GREAT.
WAY ABOVE THE 17 PERCENT AVERAGE
, BUT MIDDLE SCHOOL IS
ABOUT 15 PERCENT.

16
00:01:49.709 --> 00:02:01.187
>> YOU START TO LOSE THE GIRLS
>> TALK ABOUT THE CAMPS THE
FIRST THROUGH FIFTH AND SIXTH
THROUGH EIGHTH.

17
00:02:01.187 --> 00:02:10.196
ACCESS TO ROSE HOME AND FACULTY.
INTERESTING IS REALLY A LOT OF
HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE.
>> THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE

18
00:02:10.196 --> 00:02:15.802
REASONS I BROUGHT TOYS TODAY.
SO IN THE CAMP WE HAVE SIX
DIFFERENT TOPICS BECAUSE
DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE DIFFERENT

19
00:02:15.802 --> 00:02:24.811
THINGS.
THE THINGS I BROUGHT WITH ME
TODAY IS A MICROCONTROLLER AND
WHAT THE KIDS DO IS PROGRAM A

20
00:02:24.811 --> 00:02:30.316
LITTLE MICROCONTROLLER BOARD
LIKE THIS AND THEY MAKE THESE
BOARDS DO DIFFERENT THINGS WITH
LIGHTS AND PLUG THEM INTO

21
00:02:30.316 --> 00:02:38.858
DIFFERENT ACCESSORIES SO THIS
WILL CONTROL THIS ROBOT SO IF I
START DRIVING THIS GUY AROUND
YOU CAN SEE HE IS DRIVING AROUND

22
00:02:38.858 --> 00:02:44.731
WITH THIS GUY.
IF I CAN MAKE I'M NOT GO OFF THE
TABLE THAT'S PREFERRED BUT WE
TEACH THEM HOW TO CODE AND WE

23
00:02:44.731 --> 00:02:51.571
WANTED TO BE FUN SO WE WANT THEM
TO DO SOMETHING THEY FOUND
EXCITING.
>> TALK ABOUT CODING AND

24
00:02:51.571 --> 00:02:59.279
CODING ACADEMY IS AN HOUR OF
CODE.
PART OF YOUR CAMP IS GETTING
YOUNG PEOPLE AND GETTING SKILLS

25
00:02:59.279 --> 00:03:06.185
ON THAT KIND OF THINGS AT A
YOUNG AGE.
>> CODING SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT
, BUT WE LIKE TO SAY

26
00:03:06.185 --> 00:03:13.226
THAT THE COATING MINDSET IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT SO THE BIG THING
TO DO IS WE HAVE TO MAKE THEM
REALIZE YOU CAN DO IT SO YOU

27
00:03:13.226 --> 00:03:19.132
WILL SEE OPPORTUNITIES AND THEY
WILL COME UP.
YOU CAN DO IT.
AND ALSO IT IS FUN AND IF WE CAN

28
00:03:19.132 --> 00:03:26.306
ESTABLISH THAT MINDSET IT WILL
GROW.
>> A LOT OF EFFORT AS WE WERE
TALKING OFF CAMERA.

29
00:03:26.306 --> 00:03:33.613
HOW DOES INDIANA STACK UP WHEN
IT COMES TO COMPUTER SCIENCE AND
THOSE TYPES OF DISCIPLINES?
>> IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY FUN.

30
00:03:33.613 --> 00:03:42.822
SO THERE'S A WEBSITE CALLED CODE
.ORG THAT SUMMARIZES HOW
DIFFERENT STATES TO AND THEY TRY
TO TOUT THE STATES DOING WELL SO

31
00:03:42.822 --> 00:03:50.296
IF YOU LOOK AT OUR STATE
STANDARDS WE HAVE A COMPUTER
SCIENCE STATE STANDARD IN THERE.
I BROUGHT A COPY AND THEY ARE

32
00:03:50.296 --> 00:03:56.302
LIKE THESE STATES HAVE THESE
STANDARDS AND THEY LIST THE FIVE
STATES AND INDIANA IS ALWAYS IN
THERE SO IT'S FUN TO SEE THAT

33
00:03:56.302 --> 00:04:06.012
IT'S A BIG PUSH IN INDIANA AND
FROM THE GOVERNOR ON DOWN IT'S
JUST A BRILLIANT MOVE BECAUSE
THERE ARE SO MANY JOBS COMING IN

34
00:04:06.012 --> 00:04:12.151
PROGRAMMING.
>> CONNECTING WITH CODE.
AND YOUNG PEOPLE STILL REGISTER?
>> THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK,

35
00:04:12.151 --> 00:04:20.660
TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY SO IT'S
TOO LATE FOR THIS YEAR BUT WE'RE
DEFINITELY COMING BACK NEXT YEAR
WE HAVE A GRANT FOR LIKE $25,000

36
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:26.466
SO WE WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER
NEXT YEAR.
>> CONNECTING WITH CODE IS THE
NAME OF THE CAMP.

37
00:04:26.466 --> 00:04:33.806
GROWING IN A BIG WAY.
