This professional development opportunity designed for educators of grades 8-12 pairs the power of computational thinking with the pedagogical methodology of scenario-based learning. Developed through an NSF CPATH grant (CCF0939089), participants will learn to teach scenarios that require students to solve problems in which they are given incomplete details, requiring them to ask targeted questions and analyze alternatives in order to formulate a solution. Educators will leave the workshop with developed scenarios ready to implement within their classroom.

Learning Outcomes

● Better understanding of computational thinking and its relevance across disciplines
● Scenario development through the use of a flexible, customizable template

Participants should currently teach grades 8-12.
