Computational Thinking Resources and Examples

At TERC we integrate CT into STEM education across grade levels and in both formal and informal settings. And we help educators explore what CT can look like in STEM learning environments, both with and without coding. Check out the projects showcasing our work in CT integration, research methods and assessments, and much more.
