rather than simply watching the instructor. The ‘flipped’ classroom [9] is an excellentexample of where students are mentored through solving problems rather than being ‘shown’how to work problems. Repeatedly showing students a solution method leads to rotememorization of the steps and little understanding of what each step accomplishes. Havingstudents answer their own how-to questions amongst themselves leads to more experimentationand results in greater understanding. They begin looking beyond the equations and into thebehaviors.Today’s technology enables lightning fast, precise calculations. Students need to learn how toexploit the incredible computational power available to them without becoming dependent onit. Using spreadsheets to do

Moreover, westudied how such PD would impact the teachers.Our prior study of the middle school ecosystem revealed that teachers’ needs should always bethe focal point of PDs, as there are many unmet needs for CS/CT in K-12.

The social license loosely refers topublic acceptance, but the term is usually invoked without clear definition [1]. Advocates for theSLO define it as “the level of tolerance, acceptance, or approval of an organization’s activities bythe stakeholders with the greatest concern about the activity” [2]. From its original use in thepulp and paper and mining industries in the 1990s, the term has since

Self- Contained, Shippable Outreach Experiments for Online Implementation in K-12 ClassroomsAbstractDue to COVID-19, more students are transitioning to online classrooms. This poses a problemfor STEM educators as students are limited in their ability to learn about the scientific process orscientific thinking through hands-on experimentation. Additionally, outreach programs that aredesigned to increase interest and participation in STEM face a challenge of not being able toenter the physical classroom for activities. To address these needs, a program was developed tocreate self-contained experimental kits that could be shipped to students’ homes. This allowsstudents to gain the same outreach experience that
