\u00a0\"\"SPICE (Science Projects Integrating Computing and Engineering) is a derivative of C2STEM. It is a 6-week long Earth Sciences curriculum where students first conduct hands-on experiments and then build conceptual models of water runoff (and flooding), then learn about computational constructs and build a computational model for water runoff. Students then use their computational models to solve an engineering design problem of constructing a playground in their school that minimizes water runoff. This system has several teacher-developed formative assessments that go with the curriculum, which makes it possible for us to study progressions in student learning.<\/p>\n

How to Get Involved:<\/h2>\n

SPICE welcomes collaborations from researchers in learning sciences, learning analytics, and education who may want to work on extending these projects and analyzing the multimodal data that has been collected in classroom studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
