The Centering Culture team is committed to contributing practical, accessible curricula and toolkits to support teams dedicated to developing their own and their teams’ cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills. Centering Culture tools and resources are designed and developed in partnership with practitioners, community members, and stakeholders in fields and with lived experiences relevant to the respective community and professional context.
As part of an NSF funded effort, the community research team seeks to develop resources and trainings to support researchers, community partners, and the public in learning how to conduct ethical research that is grounded in values of reciprocity, relationality, and respect. Our resources and trainings are available here.
The Braiding Knowledge project is a collaboration between Dr. Melissa Tehee, Dr. Breanne Litts, and Dr. Rogelio Cardona-Rivera that seeks to create new forms of technology that support Indigenous perspectives. Learn more here on our project website.
Our team seeks to develop training and infrastructure that supports development of cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills across a range of healthcare contexts.
We explore how to support teaching and learning of computational thinking (CT) practices in interdisciplinary, age-appropriate contexts. To prepare youth to be computationally literate in a digital world economy, two key approaches have emerged aiming to make text-based programming more widely applicable, accessible, and age-appropriate.
In partnership with the Field Day Lab (David Gagnon) and Videogame Research (Dr. Dennis Ramirez), this project brings together computer, data, and learning designers and scientists to explore how the log data in a mobile development platform can shed light on youths’ learning in making and coding their games. Specifically, we examined ARIS (Augmented Reality and Interactive Storytelling), a narrative-based programming platform for non-programmers made up for a web-based editor and a client-based app.
