Grant Work

See About page to see overview of grant project and methodology.

Note: all documents below are shared for transparency of a collaborative process between CS student interns and faculty through multi-semester development. Finalized versions will be shared through a Canvas shell and resource document once the phases below are completed.

Planning

Below are the planning materials generated in Spring 2024:

• IDEA OER Assessment Rubrics: thinkcspy, Python for Everybody, Composing Programs, Python Coding Cookbook, Python Docs
  • Inheritance
  • Lists and Dictionaries
  • Exception Handling
• IDE/Platform Research: Replit no longer an option, explored CodeHS and Google Colab
• Lab + Discussion Post Brainstorming: Assessing current assignments and identifying areas of growth

Implementing

Below are the materials built in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025:

• ZTC Course “Book”: List of selected topics and resources
• IDE Selection: using CodeHS primarily because it allows for easier testing, use Google Colab for certain labs with more setup/warmup activities
• Canvas Sandbox: working off of GOALS in CS canvas shells with OER/ZTC Instructional Designer
• Discussion Posts:
  • Native/Indigenous Tribes
  • Sound + Graphics
  • Industry + Data Structures
• Labs: hosted and built for CodeHS, extra testing and instruction edits may be needed for GitHub Classroom:
  • Codespace Python Template - all labs forked from here for ease of maintenance
  • Hello MiraCostan (First Program)
  • Scaled Ingredients (Input, Processing, Output)
  • Food Bank Distribution Calculator (Functions)
  • Grade Calculator (Boolean Logic)
  • Loteria (Lists and File Output)
  • Latin American Food Flashcards (Dictionaries and File Input)
  • Tribal Records (GUIs)
• Human Intros to CS Topics: in progress
• Brainstorm In-Class Activities: in progress
• Video Captioning: in progress
