At the core of computer science instruction is production. Based on age and skill, students produce artifacts (code, programs, etc.) of increasing scope and complexity. The problems that these artifacts seek to address should increase in complexity as well – for example, younger learners will develop artifacts that help them solve problems they face in class, while older learners will address larger societal problems. This course helps participants develop projects that require students to develop meaningful, age-appropriate artifacts. Participants will also learn best practices for assessing artifacts like rubrics and peer-reviews.
