Society has become mobile-centric with respect to computing devices. Traditional introductory programming courses have focused on the use of desktop machines to teach students the art of programming. The problem with such traditional approaches is that they do not invite exploration, or motivate interest. This paper explores a transformative approach to programming instruction in a first year course using Raspberry Pi computers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
