Excerpt

Computation is reshaping modern science and mathematics practices, but relatively few students have access to, or take, courses that adequately prepare them for the increasingly technological nature of these fields. Further, students who do study computational topics tend to not reflect the greater student body, with female and minority students being disproportionately underrepresented. To address these issues, we investigate the approach of embedding computational thinking content into required high school mathematics and …
