Research Question: How does early exposure to computer programming and technology influence children's confidence with technology and their interest in pursuing technology-related education and careers?
I am teaching a four-week introductory programming class for children to measure the impact of early exposure to technology. Before and after the class, students will complete surveys measuring their confidence with technology and interest in pursuing it academically or professionally. I will use these results to see how early exposure to programming impacts their confidence and potential interest in technology, and I will also compile my findings into a final report.
