This work investigated how technological and social scaffolds can support engagement, learning, and interest in computing.</p> <h2 id="curriculum-and-resources">Curriculum and Resources</h2> <p>MyTurn is a social robotics curriculum grounded in the DICE framework (Michaelis &amp; Weintrop, 2022). It integrates support for computing knowledge, value, and belonging to promote students’ interest in computer science.</p> <p>Activities connect learning about social robots with designing and programming robots for personally meaningful applications.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> <figure > <div class="flex justify-center "> <div class="w-full" ><img src="myturn-overview.jpeg" alt="MyTurn overview showing robotics activities, student planning, and curriculum resources" loading="lazy" data-zoomable /></div> </div></figure> </p> <p><em>MyTurn curriculum overview, including project activities and classroom implementation.</em></p> <h2 id="related-publication">Related Publication</h2> <p> </p> <p> </p>
