<div class="">
<div class=""><font color="#212121" size="4" class="">Computer science education has a rich history in informal learning environments, building tools and curricula with a constructionist pedagogical approach that allows children agency in developing their computational
thinking (CT) skills towards their own creative goals. The CS for All movement, intended to give all students the opportunity to develop those skills, provides a new challenge to such efforts. Equity can only be achieved through formal education, yet the approach
in formal education is often very different from constructionism. How do we retain crucial elements of these informal learning environments and curricula while adjusting to the constraints of the formal school day, such as limited instruction time, high student
to teacher ratios, specific CT learning goals, and students with learning differences? And what foundational research needs to occur in order to do it well?</font></div>
<div class=""><font color="#212121" size="4" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font color="#212121" size="4" class="">In this talk, I present my group’s work to better understand CT instruction in formal learning environments so we can provide instructional scaffolding that balances the open-ended, student-driven projects
emblematic of the constructionist movement with scaffolded, targeted instruction to help a wide variety of students achieve the learning objectives.</font></div>
