Bringing Computational Sciences to Health and Human Services — The Link - The Magazine of CMU's School of Computer Science

Early in his career at the Homewood Children’s Village, Walter Lewis (SCS 2011) learned something interesting about the high school students who participated in their afterschool program. Most teenagers who had 100 hours or more of engagement raised their grades by an entire point within a year and continued to improve beyond that. Those whose grades didn’t improve at first, but were putting in the time, showed acquisitions of soft skills and changes in their disposition toward school and life. Both of those shifts led to later academic improvement.
