“…In this respect, our format fights gender stereotypes by putting emphasis on teamwork and communication, and promotes self-efficacy by the solution of simple assignments associated with checkpoints and is well suited to covering diverse topics related to application domains. Offering an internship or participation to a Summer camp earlier in a student's undergraduate career (Aritajati et al, 2015) not only allows participants to gain confidence in their ability to apply their skills to real world problems, but have been demonstrated useful in piquing interest, exposing students to different topics.…”

In this paper, we address the problem of designing new formats of computer science orientation activities to be offered during high school students internships in Computer Science Bachelor degrees. In order to cover a wide range of computer science topics as well to deal with soft skills and gender gap issues, we propose a teamwork format, called smart rogaining, that offer engaging introductory activities to prospective students in a series of checkpoints dislocated along the different stages of a rogaine. The format is supported by a smart mobile and web application. Our proposal is aimed at stimulating the interest of participants in different areas of computer science and at improving digital and soft skills of participants and, as a side effect, of staff members (instructors and university students). In the paper, we introduce the proposed format and discuss our experience in the editions organized at the University of Genoa before the COVID-19 pandemic (2019 and 2020 waves).

“…Part of the challenge of conducting rigorous analyses of camps is their unstructured nature -learners in the same camp may do substantially different things based on their interests, making it difficult to systematically observe outcomes. The result is that many studies rely on short-term, selfreported changes in self-efficacy, learning, and other outcomes (e.g., Aritajati et al, 2015;Mcgill et al, 2015).…”

The history of computing education research is replete with studies about learning in formal contexts (i.e., students learning from teachers in school classrooms). In this chapter, we explore other contexts in which learning about computing occurs (e.g., through reading books, working through online tutorials, competing in hackathons, or asking and answering computing questions on a Q&A website). These activities are all examples of informal learning – learning that is opportunistic, rather than planned; unstructured, rather than pedagogically created; self-directed, rather than teacher-centric; and integrated authentically into life activities (Marsick & Watkins, 2001), rather than taking place in a classroom environment. We collect and synthesize research about informal learning of computing and discuss open questions around where and how it occurs and how to best support it.

Camp education has been paid more and more attention in the world because it has a great impact on teenagers' cognitive, emotional and practical abilities. From the perspective of multi-value orientation, this paper chooses teenagers' camp education as the research object, and explores the relationship and influencing factors between curriculum goal-setting and related content selection of camp education by using the method of literature and logical analysis. The research shows that the main factors to be considered in the goal setting and content selection of camp education include: the objectives, characteristics, types and themes of camp education; the needs, motivations and suitability of teenagers for camp development; the characteristics of educates and the main problems they face. On this basis, the curriculum system and selection principle of camp education are designed which is positively conducive to the development of young people's personality.
