The goal of the RPP is to improve students\u2019 computational skills with a focus on preparing them to succeed in the Advance Placement (AP) computer science courses and motivating them to enroll in CS degrees. The project aims to help math, science, and art teachers from NN high schools develop CS-based projects in their existing courses and provide mentorship and guidance towards offering AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) courses in the subsequent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>The project is funded by<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=2031505&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\"><strong>Award # 20315<\/strong>05<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">National Science Foundation&#8217;s<strong> <\/strong>Computer Science for All (CS4ALL)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=2246200&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=2246200&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\">Award # 2246200<\/a> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">National Science Foundation&#8217;s Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (BCSER)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The APS Foundation <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Map of Partnered Schools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1SCABq6oaoH9jIeDoJImSgEKS0xGrqrs&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"700\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s Talk Code Project&nbsp;Let\u2019s Talk Code (LTC)&nbsp;is a&nbsp;Research Practitioner Partnership (RPP) that investigates a novel approach to introducing computer science (CS) to high school students in the Navajo Nation (NN) tribal region in Arizona and New Mexico.
