with. A group of faculty in biochemistry at NC State has been working on aWordpress platform where lesson plans can be paired with 3D-printable designs for students toaccess. We propose to build a comparable site for Engineering Mechanics. Each lesson willinclude: • written explanations of the topic • a 3D CAD file using Fusion 360 where students can access the file, see how it's built, and edit it as needed • a brief video from Fusion 360 where the part spins or deforms • a 3D printer file so that faculty or students with access to a 3D printer can print their own demonstrations • a lesson plan describing a simple experiment to demonstrate the topic being discussed • reflection questions built around the

identified six reflective decision-makingelements related to initial planning and redesign. It was developed using the Engineering isElementary curriculum [17] and was developed with data from upper elementary school agestudents engaged in an engineering design challenge. The six elements of reflective decisionmaking included: Articulate multiple solutions, evaluate pros and cons, intentionally selectsolution, retell performance of solution, analyze solution according to specific evidence, andpurposefully choose improvements. These decisions were framed by the structure of thecurriculum used for that study and therefore elements from that framework such as the notion ofidentifying decisions points, provided a starting point for this work .

understanding of computation, mainlywhen programming tasks are not present, is less defined or non-existent. ComputationalThinking (CT) generally refers to knowledge and skills apart from, and possibly a precursor to,the ability to write computer programs, yet is commonly measured through the quality ofprogramming. Are there ways of qualifying CT ‘maturity’ outside of programming tasks?This study looks at the intersection of CT and CS in first-grade learners who are developingcomputational solutions involving literacy tasks.
