  1. This poster reports on a workshop to help elementary school teachers integrate culturally relevant computer science (CS) learning opportunities into their classrooms. Findings highlight the importance of facilitators to help teachers discuss cultural competence and the value of co-developed rubrics to evaluate lessons. The presentation will discuss results and share artifacts from the workshop.

  2. Careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) increasingly rely on computational thinking (CT) to explore scientific processes and apply scientific knowledge to the solution of real-world problems. Integrating CT with science and engineering also helps broaden participation in computing for students who otherwise would not have access to CT learning. Using a set of emergent design guidelines for scaffolding integrated STEM and CT curricular experiences, we designed the Water Runoff Challenge (WRC) - a three-week unit that integrates Earth science, engineering, and CT. We implemented the WRC with 99 sixth grade students and analyzed students’ learning artifacts and pre/post assessments to characterize students’ learning process in the WRC. We use a vignette to illustrate how anchoring CT tasks to STEM contexts supported CT learning for a student with low prior CT proficiency.
