Abstract

This work in progress describes the design of a project-based, STEM +C (Computing) curriculum for 4^th to 6^th grade students in an afterschool setting, which is part of a large NSF-funded STEM+C project. The paper reports the preliminary outcome of the implementation of the first two STEM+C projects that focuses on student attitudes toward STEM and the computational thinking revealed during students’ scientific inquiry and problem solving processes.
