Computational Thinking Tasks

created by Kelly Powers and the K12 Initiative at Cornell Tech 

These tasks were developed as part of the Computational Thinking to Computer Science (CT to CS) Research-Practice Partnership.  The project provides and studies the implementation of school-wide professional development and culturally relevant curriculum. Teachers integrate CT vocabulary and problem-solving concepts as well as CS concepts and practices within English Language Arts and math using the tasks.
