Teaching and Learning Computing in a Maker Community: A Longitudinal Study
Pages 668 - 669
Abstract
The aim of this longitudinal study is to contribute to the knowledge about how informal learning of CS in the context of a maker community affects children in different ways. Specifically, this study explores how the teaching activities affect children's CS-related cultural and social capital and identity formation in relation to CS.
