Infusing computational thinking into middle grade science classrooms: lessons learned
WiPSCE '18: Proceedings of the 13th Workshop in Primary and Secondary Computing EducationThere is a growing need to present all students with an opportunity to learn computer science and computational thinking (CT) skills during their primary and secondary education. Traditionally, these opportunities are available outside of the core ...
Introducing Computer Science into K-8 Classrooms: Teachers' Perspectives from a Large, Urban School District
SIGCSE '20: Proceedings of the 51st ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationAs part of the national Computer Science for All initiative, there is a growing presence of computer science (CS) in K-8 classrooms. This poster presents findings from a survey of 130 K-8 teachers from Chicago Public Schools (CPS) about the state of ...
Undergraduate Computational Science and Engineering Education
It is widely acknowledged that computational science and engineering (CSE) will play a critical role in the future of the scientific discovery process and engineering design. However, in recent years computational skills have been deemphasized in the ...
