Piloting Intergenerational Participatory Design with Students & Teachers to develop Integrated K-8 CS Learning Experiences

Integrated Computer Science (CS) learning fosters the learning of CS concepts and skills within the context of a non-CS discipline, offering an avenue to expand equitable access to high-quality K-8 CS education. However, prior research has identified a lack of curriculum as a barrier to integrated CS implementation and in existing curriculum, gaps in CS concept coverage. This indicates a need for both refinement of existing and the creation of new integrated CS learning experiences.
