Design Thinking Institute

A multidisciplinary research team of mathematics and science education, cybersecurity, educational technology, motivation, and design thinking experts will develop a design-thinking-informed framework to support teachers integration of cybersecurity into mathematics and science lessons. The project team will implement the framework and professional development with 15 4th and 5th grade teachers to collaboratively develop and test exemplar cybersecurity-infused mathematics and science scenarios, studying teachers knowledge and self-efficacy in parallel via a mixed-methods use study.
