Using games to teach computer science remotely, S10E3

Can middle schoolers learn computer science concepts using tabletop games? How about during a pandemic, when classroom interaction takes place remotely? Researchers in computer science and education are working closely with teachers to develop an innovative curriculum designed to broaden participation in computer science classes.

• Learning Computer Science Through Tabletop Games in a Dual Language Immersion Middle School: description of NSF grant featured in the podcast.

• Board Game Language (BoGL): programming language used in the course curriculum described in the podcast.

• Once Upon an Algorithm: book by Martin Erwig, Stretch Professor of Computer Science.
