Broadening participation in STEM through equity-minded high-impact practices: a multimodal systematic review
This article examined 38 programs aiming to broaden participation in undergraduate STEM education using an equity-minded HIP framework. Explore the findings and discover essential recommendations for researchers and funders to implement equity-minded practices to broaden participation.
“So, we kind of started from scratch, no pun intended”: What can students learn from designing games?
“So, we kind of started from scratch, no pun intended”: What can students learn from designing games?
In the Building systems from Scratch program, designing a game about climate change requires students to carry out multiple learning tasks in parallel, that is, (1) applying systems thinking to climate change concepts; (2) understanding and applying game design principles, and (3) systematically mapping knowledge of a science topic into a game by programming and engaging in CT practices.
