In an effort to connect undergraduate computer science programs to high schools for future student success in college, a public comprehensive university is hosting high school teacher workshops to help teachers enhance their teaching effectiveness. This has established a pathway from the university to the high school. Pre- and post- workshop surveys show that these teacher workshops have changed the perceptions high school teachers had regarding careers in computer science.
