An Interdisciplinary Approach
to Teaching Computer Science in Rural Schools
Project Overview
Project Overview
Funded by the National Science Foundation, Reaching Across the Hallway is a research project supporting rural, middle school teachers in integrating culturally relevant computer science activities into their social studies classrooms.
This project encourages a more inclusive understanding of history by allowing students to explore and bring to life historical and societal concepts through computer science and computational tools.
We believe adding these types of interactive activities will engage underrepresented students in computing while also making social studies concepts more tangible.
