For instance, a student majoring in biologywill be more confident pursuing a degree/career in fields like biotechnology, bioengineeringwhich spans technology and biology after being introduced to computational thinking in abiology class [6]. Moreover, there has been a lot of effort by government and research agencies toencourage young people into STEM and technology careers. With this work of ours, we believeUniversity of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) will be doing its due diligence in supportingthese efforts. With this project, we want to take the initiative to start the CT pedagogicalmovement in our institution to

This unit helped me learn concrete ways to do that. Table 1 Cont. Students’ Reflection on the UI Module and Report Assignment 3.

In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly. The educational aim specializes in robotics technology toprepare for career-based classes and laboratories

Institutes define the CT according to unique goals and standards, meaning no unifiedCT definitions exist among researchers. For example, the International Society for Technologyin Education (ISTE) defines CT as a systematic approach for solving problems in computersciences and other subject areas and careers [16]. According to the K–12 Computer ScienceFramework, CT is closely related to computer sciences, specifically the capabilities ofcomputers for solving various problems using algorithms. The framework includes corepractices for promoting the computing culture, collaborating using computing, definingcomputational problems

Future research should evaluate what worked and hadmeasurable effects on student educational outcomes and what did not work and how the contextinformed the results.Conclusion The primary goal of these programs from the onset was to make early computingeducation accessible to kids all across the nation in order to promote further CS learningthroughout student’s educational careers. The expectation for many of these RPP programs wasthat they could potentially serve as first contact initiatives for kids in rural and urban areas wherequality CS education is less accessible from a younger age, but that did not

Some students said they stumbled upon the videos whilesearching for any online resources, while other students reported discovering the resourcethrough word-of-mouth (classmates or instructors). They expressed the need for frequentreminders by faculty that ME Online exists, especially when students are in their early years inthe program. One student noted: “When I first learned about the videos, I think it was, like, the end of my second year or early third year, and I remember looking at all of the videos there.
