This currculum builds upon the Exploring Computer Science Currculum develop by Joanna Goode and Gail Chapman. The currculum has student develop coding skills as they work on problem sovling skills and helps them build computational thinking.
This curriculum was to build a 7-week CS curriculum for the Utah Valley University Pre-freshman Engineering Program (UVU PREP) for the summer of 2018 that encompasses more emerging technologies, high-demand programming languages, and student-centered pedagogy to help develop students' interest in CS. The implementation and evaluation of the lessons that were created suggest that a more inquiry-based approach with the support of robotic hardware could be an effective way to increase student interest in CS and help alleviate workforce shortages and invite more diversity to the field.
