Computer Science for the Young Mind By: Paul Im Computer Systems Period 3

Abstract Limited efforts to educate younger students Goal: to implement computer programming to educate elementary and/or middle school students in math and science. Figure 1: Java logowww.lucidsys.net/lucid_services. htmlwww.lucidsys.net/lucid_services. html

Introduction Every day, technology becomes more advanced and accessible  Little progress made at elementary school level Scope: effective usage of teaching methods and basic programming  Most likely choice for programming language: Scratch Final project: improved curriculum  Expected results: students learn computer programming

Background Computer programming-uses conventional languages for high school Scratch-kid friendly programming language Figure 2: Unofficial Scratch Profile Image

Background cont’d Programs like this done before  2007: Gregory Gates at Cardinal Forest Elementary Figure 3: Cardinal Forest Elementary School computer lab

Development Auxiliary research  Class design  Indirect teaching Effectiveness and efficiency Projects  Rectangle challenge  Ice Skating Rink

Procedures Curriculum-expanding on predecessor’s ideas  Improvements required Videos with Scratch – Created and used as teaching aids Figure 4: Scratch students at Cardinal Forest Elementary

Procedures cont’d Considered teleconferencing – Eventually abandoned Figure 5: Random Promotional Picture

Timeline October: begincurriculumJune: end ofcourseNovember: usedScratch tocreate programsMay: final projects December: helped withdevelopment of KittyRectangle projectJanuary: helped withdevelopment of IceSkating Rink project

Problems Incompatibility  Latest Scratch for Linux: 1.2 Required: 1.3  Few formal sources for Scratch Transportation  No car Timing  Different period

Sample Algorithm Figure 6: Prototype Tutorial Program

Expected Results Progress in learning – Subjective Aspirations for program’s future – Last for years Figure 7: Promotional Image for Second Project

Conclusion Computer as medium – Teaching Students – The sooner, the better How young is too young?
