Building on her knowledge of CT and her experiences in infusing CT into her science curriculum, Bhonsle created a program that raised awareness of the importance of CT and CS education within her community, built a pipeline of students interested in CT and CS, and created lasting change in regard to access and opportunity to participate in CT and CS. Most importantly, her work provided students with opportunities to imagine new possible futures where computer science plays a key role in shaping their postsecondary education and career options.This work illustrates the power of professional learning experiences that center teacher autonomy and expertise. While Infusing Computing was originally designed to build a community of content area teachers to support CT infusion into content area, the IC Partner Grant program afforded teachers the opportunity to shape their own projects that were responsive to the needs of their students and communities. As Bhonsle’s project demonstrates, teachers recognized the promise in building synergistic connections among school-based CT learning, out-of-school learning, and their communities. As educators within and across formal and informal learning environments envision and implement their own CT and CS education programs, they also create more authentic and meaningful opportunities for learners to develop essential 21st-century skills.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants No. 1742332 and 1742351.Additional informationNotes on contributorsRobin JociusRobin Jocius is an associate professor at The University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington, Texas.

This requires the ability to critically question, apply, and reimagine how technology can aid in decision-making and problem solving to benefit people’s lives. Games can be a perfect training ground for inviting all kinds of learners to develop these essential skills.AcknowledgmentsThe Pack program was supported by the US Department of Education (Award No. U411C190044), the National Science Foundation (Award No. 1543144), and the JPB Foundation.

This is true across all disciplines, and certainly when it comes to science-related subjects. Honestly, as I write this, only a single science memory from before ninth grade comes to mind: learning about archaeological discoveries from textbook and film. I must admit, though, the fact that I remember this is most likely because my classmate Rusty ran around the wooded part of our schoolyard during recess for the better part of a week pretending he was Dr. Richard Leakey digging up Homo sapiens skulls, not because of any classroom lesson. Clearly, Rusty found the textbook reading to be inspiring; I doubt it worked out that way for most of my classmates. Looking back, I realize that I went into science because I liked solving word problems, not because I wanted to be a scientist or, frankly, really understood what the job of a scientist was like. When I was a graduate student and even an early-career college professor, I struggled with coming up with my own questions to investigate because my prior experience honing this skill was so limited. I think of how much better prepared I would have been if I learned science as it is being taught now.Keywords: Informal Education Additional informationNotes on contributorsBeth MurphyBeth Murphy, PhD (bmurphy@nsta.org), is field editor for Connected Science Learning and an independent STEM education consultant with expertise in fostering collaboration between organizations and schools, providing professional learning experiences for educators, and implementing program evaluation that supports practitioners to do their best work.","PeriodicalId":72694,"journal":{"name":"Connected science learning","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135201458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first priority listed in the act is “to expand the number of researchers, educators, and students with training in quantum information science and technology to develop a workforce pipeline” (CitationH.R.6227, 2018). QIS leverages quantum mechanical effects for applications in computing, sensing, and communication. Quantum mechanical effects are often first introduced in undergraduate physics, computer science, or chemistry courses and requires extensive prerequisite knowledge in those fields.Keywords: Middle SchoolHigh SchoolInformal EducationComputer ScienceSTEM AcknowledgmentThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2115780 and 2115843.Additional informationNotes on contributorsDevon M.
