A Comparison of Preschool and Elementary School Children Learning Computer Science Concepts through a Multilanguage Robot Programming Platform
TL;DR: Data show that all students can intuitively learn sequence, conditional, loops and parameters and that girls performed slightly better than boys, implying that introducing CS in mandatory schooling from an inquiry based approach is both achievable and beneficial.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Effect of a Web-based Coding Tool with Automatic Feedback on Students' Performance and Perceptions
TL;DR: A web-based coding tool that is open-source, publicly available and provides formative feedback and assessment is described that finds that the dropout rates are significantly lower in those courses that use the tool at two different universities.

Allan Fowler,Johanna Pirker,Ian Pollock,Bruno Campagnola de Paula,María Emilia Echeveste,Marcos J. Gomez +5 more
TL;DR: The potential of game jams for young learners is discussed, successful jam events are described, and a list of tools useful for organizing game jam events for this target group are provided.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Lessons Learned on Computer Science Teachers Professional Development
TL;DR: It is implied that a PD program that integrates pedagogical content knowledge and teachers classroom practice can effectively improve inquiry-based CS teaching, but may be insufficient preparation for teachers with no previous background on CS.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical study of orbital decay for the exoplanet WASP-19b, based on mid-time measurements of 74 complete transits (12 newly obtained by their team and 62 from the literature), covering a 10-year baseline, is presented.
