All students and educators have the ability to be computational thinkers and CS learners. Educators proactively counter stereotypes that exclude students from opportunities to excel in computing and foster an inclusive and diverse classroom culture that incorporates and values unique perspectives; builds student self-efficacy and confidence around computing; addresses varying needs and strengths; and addresses bias in interactions, design and development methods. Educators:
2a: Nurture a confident, competent and positive identity around computing for every student.
2b: Construct and implement culturally relevant learning activities that address a diverse range of ethical, social and cultural perspectives on computing and highlight computing achievements from diverse role models and teams.
2c: Choose teaching approaches that help to foster an inclusive computing culture, avoid stereotype threat and equitably engage all students.
2d: Assess and manage classroom culture to drive equitable student participation, address exclusionary dynamics and counter implicit bias.
2e: Communicate with students, parents and leaders about the impacts of computing in our world and across diverse roles and professional life, and why these skills are essential for all students.

Digital MakerSpace: Basketball Coding
2a: During my exploration with MakerSpace, I found an activity that would nurture a confident, competent and positive identity for every student. Students can use it to mess with the basketball like cause more basketballs to pop up. This causes the screen to be filled with basketballs. Students can also change the color of the hand if they want to or manipulate the scoring for shooting or missing. The name of the game was Basketball Game.

2c: We used the WeDo 2.0 LEGO's as a teaching approach that helped foster an inclusive computing culture and equitably engage all students. Students could use the app to cause the truck to go fast or have lots of different noise play. These girls manipulated it to change colors. Jasmine and I made the lesson plan Sort to Recycle that oversaw this activity.
