The curriculum promotes the development of rigorous computational thinking (CT) skills by engaging students in authentic and culturally relevant projects. Using these projects as guides, students draw upon their own experiences, settings, and culture to iteratively and digitally narrate stories to develop awareness and agency.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDuring the two-semester course, students progress from digital literacy to digital research and computational problem solving. They start by creating basic narratives using static documents and slides. They then advance to creating more dynamic, interactive narratives using web pages, mobile applications and computationally generated music using a variety of computational tools such as Powerpoint, EarSketch, and App Inventor.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe research explores how this problem-based, inquiry driven and culturally relevant CS curriculum affects student engagement, motivation, content understanding, and persistence in CS courses, particularly among student traditionally underrepresented in CS. The research will also focus on determining how teacher professional development activities influence classroom practices among participating IDT teachers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELearn more about the CAPACiTY project at: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/ceismc.gatech.edu\/capacity\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/ceismc.gatech.edu\/capacity\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELearn more about the 2018 STEM for All Video showcase at: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/stemforall2018.videohall.com\/pages\/about\/about-event\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/stemforall2018.videohall.com\/pages\/about\/about-event\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe CAPACiTY project at Georgia Tech has submitted a video to the \u0026quot;2018 STEM FOR ALL VIDEO SHOWCASE\u0026quot;, which is held between May 14 and May 21, 2018.
