258. Math Class as Computer Science Class with Chris Orban

from Learning Unboxed Hosted by Annalies Corbin & NOVA Media

What if instead of pushing every high schooler into Algebra 2, we let them choose a math route that focused more on data science and computers? That’s what Chris Orban and the Math Pathways project are working to make happen in the state of Ohio. On the show today, Chris describes how he’s helping increase access to computer science education for kids across the state through math course offerings. He walks us through what those courses can look like, including a project on the Nintendo64 Mario game. Chris gives an excellent, deep-in-the-weeds perspective of what it takes to make this kind of systemic change.
