DESCRIPTION:Please sign up @ https://www.raspberrypi.org/computing-educati
 on-research-online-seminars/\n\nWith many countries worldwide integrating 
 Computer Science (CS) and Computational Thinking (CT) instruction at the p
 rimary school level\, it is crucial that we ensure that computing instruct
 ion is effective for all students. In this talk\, Jean will present her wo
 rk in identifying inequities in elementary computing instruction and in de
 veloping a learning strategy\, TIPP&SEE\, to address these inequities. Stu
 dents using TIPP&SEE demonstrated improved understanding of computing conc
 epts and better code quality in assignments. Further\, the gaps between st
 udents with and without academic challenges narrowed when using the TIPP&S
 EE strategy. \n\nJean will also discuss the next steps for her work\, tran
 sitioning from improving how young people learn computing to questioning w
 hat they learn about computing. While computing has provided society with 
 immense benefits\, it has also amplified bias with real-world consequences
 . Currently\, she is exploring how young people may learn to examine techn
 ology’s role in their lives and society\, and how educators can foster a
  critical understanding of computing in young people for a more just futur
 e.\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\nDr Jean Salac is a postdoctoral researcher and Comput
 ing Innovations Fellow at the University of Washington's Code & Cognition 
 Lab. Her research interests include computer science education and child
 –computer interaction\, particularly in justice-focused computing for yo
 ung learners. Her work has won Best Paper at the International Computing E
 ducation Research Conference (ICER) and an honourable mention for Best Pap
 er at the conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI). Prior to
  becoming a researcher\, she worked in various STEM education spaces\, suc
 h as museums\, policy\, and startups.\n
