摘要
Advances in technology are leading high schools to update computer science curricula; however there has been little analogous attention to technology-related education in middle schools. Middle school students are at a critical phase in life, when they are exploring more custom education options and starting to wonder "What do I want to be when I grow up?" My research is investigating whether and how computing skills can be integrated with career exploration to provide middle school girls a positive learning experience.
