Cultures in Code: Integrating Computer Science and Social Studies Through PBL

Discover the powerful impact of integrating computer science and social studies through authentic project-based learning in the elementary classroom. This session features an innovative unit where students become researchers, digital creators, and cultural ambassadors, culminating in a vibrant, student-designed website that celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the entire school community. Participants will explore how cross-disciplinary instruction—combining digital cartography, coding, literacy, and collaborative research—empowers young learners to showcase heritage, traditions, and languages through multimedia artifacts and curated site content.
