Computational Thinking in Ecosystems Final Evaluation Report

December 28th, 2018 | EVALUATION

This report summarizes evaluative findings from Computational Thinking in Ecosystems project, and the resulting product, i.e., a functional draft of a game called “The Pack.” Evaluative efforts included gathering feedback from key stakeholders—including members of the design based research (DBR) team members at the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) along with advisors and project partners— about the game and the DBR process, as well as an independent assessment of the game via feedback from educators and a round of play-testing with youth.
