Session description

Discover how students are using computer science (CS) to create scientific models to engage the community in real-world phenomena. See how these students are exploring CS tools such Tinkercad, Merge Cube and code.org to choose the best method to create a model to showcase.

Purpose & objective

Participants will be able to create learning opportunities to allow students to explore modeling/ coding in various capacities in a SCIENCE class.
