Welcome to Mitacs Globalink Research Interns
We’re happy to welcome two new Mitacs Globalink research interns to the lab — Sylvain Rocchia from Grenoble INP and Alex Baxter from the University of Edinburgh. Sylvain and Alex will be spending their internship as members of the SEER Lab working on the development of an educational game for learning software testing.
SIGCSE 2023 Poster – “Run, Llama, Run: A Computational Thinking Game for K-5 Students Designed to Support Equitable Access”
Computational thinking is now included in K-5 classrooms and this has led to a demand for new interactive and collaborative learning tools that engage a younger audience. Block-based programming and educational games have both been shown to be effective at engaging children, however they have limitations with respect to supporting collaborative learning and equitable access.Continue reading “SIGCSE 2023 Poster – “Run, Llama, Run: A Computational Thinking Game for K-5 Students Designed to Support Equitable Access””
