The competition initially focused on "Set," with "Melanin" added to the EarSketchlibrary midway through the submission window to boost enthusiasm.Curriculum: While EarSketch has been integrated into many different CS curricular experiences,it was decided to create a 3-module, competition-focused curriculum for this pilot program.While EarSketch has been used in experiences as short as 1-hour, we felt 3 hours (3 classperiods) would be a more realistic length of time for students to accomplish the challenge: tocode an original song remixing Ciara's song "Set” in EarSketch. The curriculum is grounded inProject-based Learning and each module is aligned to elements of the AP/Computer

Motivated by the aim of improving students’ problem-solving skills, we created an interactive system for use in an undergraduate introductory engi-neering mechanics course required for many engineering disciplines. Our system provides an in-tuitive, visual framework that allows students to rapidly solve problems that require building sys-tems of equations in multiple steps. Built within the OpenDSA eTextbook system, these exer-cises can be served directly through a learning management system such as Canvas, allowing theexercises to be integrated seamlessly with other content. In this paper, we describe the key de-sign choices for our system, present important features and the student

Quantitatively, the same mindset objectives were assessed in other coursemodules as part a larger curriculum wide effort in Engineering. The numerical results indicatethat the modules in this course outperformed other modules in the curriculum for most of themindset objectives. Ultimately, the results indicate these types of modules may play an importantrole in entrepreneurial mindset development for computer science students.IntroductionThis paper describes a set of modules designed to

The software is a front-end for a Java-basedcode repository that supports advanced experiments in program protection and exploitationrelated to hardware security that has been part of several master’s and doctoral thesis topics [1-11]. The software integrates popular algorithms and synthesis tools such as UC Berkeley’sEspresso [12] and ABC [13] in an easy-to-use interface. Visualization from the graph-based JavayEd library [14] provides the ability to see relationships between circuit form, structure, andfunctional representations. It also supports advanced concept

topic of interest in K-12 education. Childrenthat are exposed at an early age to STEM curriculum, such as computer programming andcomputational thinking, demonstrate fewer obstacles entering technical fields [1]. Increasedknowledge of programming and computation in early childhood is also associated with betterproblem solving, decision-making, basic number sense, language skills, and visual memory [2].As a digital competence, coding is explicitly regarded as a key 21st Century Skill, as the“literacy of today,” such that its acquisition is regarded as essential to sustain economicdevelopment and competitiveness [3]. Hence, the reliable evaluation of students’ process data incontext of problem solving tasks that require CT is of great

This study represents a qualitative study done to gain deeper insight into theexperiences of students. The results of this study demonstrated students were engaging withcourse materials in unexpected ways but frequently referred back to the visualizations.Additionally, students had an approach to understanding the visualizations that was both helpfuland problematic. These findings help to inform visualization and curriculum designers aboutstudent attitudes and strategies in using course materials.1 IntroductionDue to the abstract nature of Computer Science it is not uncommon for

and content knowledge. This is an important consideration for CS education, asteachers must understand how to integrate computer science skills and competencies into theirlesson plans. Pilot projects and localized programs have shown success in developing thiscapacity within teachers. For example, a researcher group from University of SouthernCalifornia collaborated with nine teachers in three elementary schools in the Latino communityof Boyle Heights in Los Angeles and created the Building Opportunities with Teachers inSchools (BOTS) program [11]. The focus of this program is to use robotics and other non-computer-based activities to teach CS concepts in a physical form. One of the long-term goals ofthe BOTS program is to provide a low-cost
