2021 Poster - Code Crafters: Fostering Public Engagement in Computational Thinking by Leveraging Quilting Communities and Practices

November 4, 2021 | Public Programs

The pilot and feasibility study will develop instructional workshops for an adult population of quilters to introduce them to computational thinking. By leveraging pre-existing social structures, skill sets, and engagement in quilting, the researchers hope to help participants develop computer science and computational thinking knowledge and skills.

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.
