Finding the Hook: Engaging Teachers and Students in Computer Science
Fri, April 8, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 149 ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Attracting a more diverse population to engineering and computer science fields requires a concerted effort to support learners through integrated experiences that involve student-centered instruction , the opportunity to learn from mentors in the field, high expectations and opportunities for learners to share their learning, and educator professional development.
This session brings together researchers and practitioners from five different computer science and engineering projects funded by the National Science Foundation’s Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program to explore and discuss the integration of engineering and computer science in ways that engage teachers and learners in diverse contexts.
