Igniting Engineering Education with the Spark of Computer Science

Virtual

Join YES and Dr. Mary Dzaugis from MathWorks to explore how computer science can support engineering education. We will dive into our middle school computer science modules powered by MATLAB, a programming language and computing environment developed by MathWorks, used by real engineers and computer scientists alike! We will discuss the benefits of early exposure to computer science and computational thinking through the lens of YES’s computer science framework.
