The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $269,916 Project Grant under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the National Girls Collaborative to develop a series of three books for K-2nd grade students that integrate computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) with English language arts (ELA). The "Building Knowledge in Computing through Early Literacy Strategies (BELLS)" project will co-design these educational materials with partners in Louisiana's Region 8, a rural area with limited internet access, to foster early exposure to critical CS/CT skills and promote future academic success in STEM fields. The books and accompanying teacher guides will be rigorously tested and refined through a mixed-methods research plan, with the goal of expanding access to CS/CT learning by integrating it into foundational ELA curricula. The project is a collaboration between the National Girls Collaborative, the Institute for Advancing Computing Education, and Minnesota State University, Mankato, and it aims to address the gap in teaching CS/CT in early elementary grades.
