Designing Computing for Learning and Everywhere Else

3 credits · Undergraduate

In this course, students will learn how to design tools and curricula to support learning computer science in creative ways that connect with other disciplines and practices. We will explore various beginner friendly computing modalities (e.g., Scratch, MakeCode). Students will critically examine the strengths and limitations of these platforms in supporting learning and self-expression across contexts and disciplines. Through this, students will design and create tools that address critical challenges or opportunities in learning and leveraging computational thinking for learning. [3]
