Description

A multidisciplinary team from the UW Colleges of Education, Engineering, and Arts and Sciences to research whether gaming and robotics can be used to teach computational thinking skills to middle school students in culturally sensitive ways through ITEST project Visualization Basics.  Visualization Basics team members will train teachers to develop mathematical and scientific lessons that are culturally relevant to their students, support educators as they implement those lessons, work with the teachers to analyze the impact on students’ overall learning, and work with participants interested in becoming peer trainers.
