RPPs are a novel method that uses research in local educational contextsto increase access to CS in areas that typically lack necessary resources. The SUCESS RPP is creating aCS course sequence that satisfies a West Virginia (WV) middle school career exploration requirement andsupports districts in implementing CS education in their schools, thereby expanding CS opportunities forrural students.

To benefit from theseprograms, however, students first need awareness that these opportunities exist. Furthermore,students majoring in non-computer science/engineering fields are often not provided withlearning experiences that foster their self-efficacy in pursuing computing courses, thus limitingtheir future educational and career choices [1 - 3]. Students from historically marginalizedcommunities, shown to be enrolled at higher rates in community colleges than in 4-yearinstitutions, are particularly affected by

Such alack in high schools may create a void or lack of interest in studying programming for collegestudents [16]. While some CS-major students had extensive programming and computingknowledge, others, such as non-CS-major students, may have never been exposed to the same[17]. Considering this limitation and void, many universities began offering programmingcourses to students in a computer science program as well as students who are not part of any oftheir computer science programs to meet future career options demand [18
