Computational Thinking for Next Generation Science

In the project Computational Thinking for Next Generation Science, we engaged with five school districts across the United States to develop sustained professional learning opportunities integrated with micro-credentials to build capacity to integrate computational thinking into middle school science. This project developed a toolkit with Look fors, prompting questions, classroom examples, student rubrics and tools to support teachers to integrate computational thinking into their practice.

Computational Modeling for Integrating Science and Engineering Design: Model Construction, Manipulation, and Exploration (CMISE)

CMISE will conduct design experiments in elementary and middle school classrooms to better understand the impacts of computational model construction, manipulation, exploration activities on student learning and teachers’ instructional practices in science and engineering design.

Include Neurodiversity in Foundational and Applied Computational Thinking

Funded by the US Department of Education’s Education Innovation and Research program, INFACT is a consortium of university and non-profit partners developing and implementing a comprehensive set of computational teaching and learning materials for children who are neurodiverse in grades 3-8.
