Planning a new community-based CS education program for youth
The CoderDojo@UWG Logic Model mind map provides a comprehensive framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating a community-based computer science education program for youth aged 7-17. Developed by the University of West Georgia, this 289-node template maps out the program's theory of change, covering resources, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact over a 10-year horizon. It includes specific elements such as 'Kid Participants, Aged 7-17', '12 Saturday Sessions or 36 hours of contact', and 'Increase in CS students coming from Carroll County into CS majors'. This CoderDojo@UWG Logic Model template serves as a strategic planning and evaluation tool for educators, program coordinators, and researchers aiming to structure and assess informal CS learning initiatives.

Download the .xmind file and open it to explore the five core branches including Audience, Resources, and Impact.
Replace the placeholder text with your specific program details and adjust the sub-nodes to reflect your unique stakeholders.
Utilize the map as a living document to monitor your program's implementation and update long-term outcomes annually.
The template covers the full logic model: audience, resources/inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes (1-3 years), and impact (7-10 years). It includes 289 nodes with specific data points like '12 Saturday Sessions' and '# of Kids Served/Month/Year'.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then customize each branch with your program's data. Use the 'Outputs' and 'Outcomes' sections to track metrics like mentor contact hours and participant attitude changes.
Yes, the template is fully editable in Xmind (desktop or web). You can modify node text, add branches, and adapt it to your own community CS program.
It helps identify potential obstacles such as 'Lack of Qualified, Interested Mentors in Region' and 'High-needs Users Lacking Access', allowing proactive mitigation planning.
Absolutely. The logic model structure is generic; replace the program-specific nodes (e.g., 'Coder Dojo Activities') with your own activities and outcomes.
