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.<\/p>\n
