Publicaciones e investigación

Más de 20 años de Investigación en Educación en Ciencias de la Computación y el mayor estudio financiado por la NSF en educación en CS, nuestros métodos y herramientas están bien estudiados y han sido utilizados como modelos por muchos en la industria. He aquí una pequeña muestra de nuestra investigación revisada por pares y publicada.
