Bringing Robotics, Cybersecurity and Computer Science to the Middle School classroom (ROCCEM)

Posted by on Wednesday, August 14, 2024 in Uncategorized.

The project develops, tests, and iteratively refines a modular middle school curriculum that introduces computer science and cybersecurity simultaneously using primarily hands-on, project-based, engaging material. The curriculum uses NetsBlox, a block-based programming environment and RoboScape Online, a fully programmable and collaborative virtual robotics environment.
