From Solo to Social: Making Coding a Collaborative Adventure
summary
Claims a shift from solitary learning to repeatable social formats using concrete methods: think pair share sessions that doubled virtual office hour turnout and accelerated final projects in year three of a high‑school program, bite‑sized data storytelling workshops using esquisse and reproducible notebooks to lower fear and prompt creative deliverables, and women‑led hackathons (over seventy run) with Shiny and cloud tooling that produced sustained teams and an MIT Hacking Medicine win. Practical templates, role definitions, and measurable engagement gains are provided.
