More specifically, attention is given to computational algorithmic thinking (CAT), particularly among underrepresented K-12 student groups in STEM education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComputational algorithmic thinking (CAT)--a precursor to CT--is explored in this text as the ability to design, implement, and evaluate the application of algorithms to solve a variety of problems. Drawing on observations from research studies that focused on innovative STEM programs, including underrepresented students in rural, suburban, and urban contexts, the authors reflect on project-based learning experiences, pedagogy, and evaluation that are conducive to developing advanced computational thinking, specifically among diverse student populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis practical text includes vignettes and visual examples to illustrate how coding, computer modeling, robotics, and drones may be used to promote CT and CAT among students in diverse classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45241274269847,"sku":"9780367456504","price":12987.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367456504.webp?v=1769228204","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fostering-computational-thinking-among-underrepresented-students-in-stem-strategies-for-supporting-racially-equitable-computing-9780367456504","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
