NCSI: Introduction to Computational Thinking (ICT)

Registration Closed
Introduction to Computational Thinking (ICT)
First Look — 2011
The purpose of these workshops is to expose participants to and inspire them with new techniques, teaching materials, and applications to use computational models in the undergraduate curriculum. By bringing faculty and teachers from different disciplines together so that they can learn how to incorporate computational models into their classrooms and research projects, it will advance the use of computing in undergraduate science education. We desire to have participants from a broad range of disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, and the physical and life sciences. Each workshop below may be a “variation” on the theme of Computational Thinking.
