Abstract: An inclusive science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce is needed to maintain America's leadership in the scientific enterprise. Increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM, including persons with disabilities, requires national attention to fully engage the nation's citizens in transforming its STEM enterprise. To address this need, a number of initiatives, such as AccessCSforALL, Bootstrap, and CSforAll, are making efforts to make Computer Science inclusive to the 7.4 million K-12 students with disabilities in the U.S. Of special interest to our project are those K-12 students with hearing impairments. American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary means of communication for an estimated 500,000 people in the United States, yet there are limited online resources providing Computer Science instruction in ASL. This paper introduces a new project designed to support Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) K-12 students and sign interpreters in acquiring knowledge of complex Computer Science concepts. We discuss the motivation for the project and an early design of the accessible block-based Computer Science curriculum to engage DHH students in hands-on computing education.
文摘：要保持美国在科学事业中的领导地位，就需要一支具有包容性的科学、技术、工程和数学( STEM )队伍。增加在 STEM 中任职人数不足的群体，包括残疾人的参与，需要国家注意使国家公民充分参与改造其 STEM 企业。为了满足这一需求， AccessCSforALL 、 Bootstrap 和 CSforAll 等多项举措正在努力使计算机科学包含在美国740万 K-12残疾学生。我们的项目特别关注的是那些有听力障碍的 K-12学生。美国手语( ASL )是美国约50万人的主要交流手段，但在美国手语中提供计算机科学指令的在线资源有限。本文介绍了一项新的项目，旨在支持聋人和听力障碍( DHH ) K-12学生和手语翻译获取复杂的计算机科学概念知识。我们讨论了这个项目的动机和一个早期设计的可访问的基于块的计算机科学课程，让 DHH 学生参与上手计算教育。
