“…Based on the findings derived from the interviews of the participants in Creative Coding workshops, and the analysis of the collected data, several conclusions can be drawn. As already pointed out by scientific literature [11,13,19] the integration of art, into the teaching and learning processes, has the potential to enhance engagement and attract girls to STEAM fields. The integration of music, or art as a final result of coding practice, and audio-visual perception of music holds great potential in enhancing the interest of girls in the fields of coding and STEAM.…”

“…Since the whole process is novel and unusual, we wanted to learn from the girls [25] and hear in their own words how they describe their experience in this process. Bearing in mind their very young age (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), we sent hard copy requests to all parents for consent to interview the girls. After obtaining parental consent for running a research study in parallel with a coding session we chose two complementary methods for analysis of Creative Coding sessions impact -observation and interview.…”

INTRODUCTION: This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the Creative Coding project’s impact on female empowerment.OBJECTIVES: The project addresses the gender disparity in STEAM fields by integrating coding and art for girls aged 10-15, using the Strudel tool that combines real-time live coding and music composition.METHODS: Through observation and interviews with the girls who participated and performed at the end of the Creative Coding project, but also with those who dropped out, we cast a deep look into the positive and negative parameters to tailor concrete measures for every girl empowerment - not only super achievers. We collaborated with teachers and female mentors from the Computer Science and Engineering Department as relatable role models, to support feelings of belonging and spark curiosity. Using the new user-friendly Strudel tool that supports the integration of art, music, and audio-visual elements, we aimed at an engaging learning experience. To tailor new actions and increase attrition we used a mess map for analysis of the wicked problem of dropouts. Finally, collaboration among the girls and peer learning were expected as by-product effects.RESULTS: Positive outcomes include increased interest, self-confidence, creativity, and aspirations in STEAM subjects among the girls. However, a more comprehensive and supportive environment is recognized as necessary to engage a broader group of girls in STEAM activities. The findings highlight the importance of cultivating curiosity, providing mentorship, promoting inclusivity and collaboration, and integrating creativity in education to inspire and empower girls in coding and STEAM disciplines.CONCLUSION: The paper concludes by emphasizing the potential of Creative Coding practices and the audio-visual perception of music to enhance girls’ empowerment, creativity, and interest in coding and STEAM fields.

“…Pembelajaran STEAM menurut (Crayton & Svihla, 2015) diposisikan sebagai pendekatan pembelajaran yang dapat dilaksanakan secara terpadu atau terintegrasi, berikut bagaimana STEAM dapat diintegrasikan. Kita dapat melakukan visualisasi sifat interdisipliner pendidikan STEAM di mana Sebagai guru abad 21 harus mampu melaksanakan pembelajaran secara inovatif dengan penguasaan materi yang benar dan memadahi, serta pendekatan pedagogi dan teknologi yang tepat.…”

<p class="Abstract">The purpose of community service activities is to train guidance and counseling Teachers to integrateScience, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) based on neuroscience in the implementation of guidance and counseling services in schools. The implementation of community service involves partners, namely counseling teachers in Boyolali Regency, a total of 50 people. The training activity was carried out 4 times the concept of the activity namely On Job Training 1, In Service Training 1, On Job Training 2 andIn Service Training 2 and equivalent to 40 Hours of Training. The data collection technique uses the Brammer & Shostrom evaluation instrument. Data analysis techniques using. Datapretest and posttest statistically analyzed using different tests (paired sample t-test). The result is the initial measurement (pretest) mastery of teacher competencies related to neuroscience-based STEAM by 48% while the final measurement (posttest) at 73%, so there is an increase in teacher competence due to training by 25%. These results show the commitment, hard work and desire to learn of the guidance and counseling teachers who are outstanding. Hope they can do it experiential learning in their respective schools so as to create many best practice which other guidance and counseling teachers can refer to.</p>

“…The idea is to provide a physical output that is more interesting and easier for children to understand than simple textual output. The longstanding use of turtle graphics to teach programming (starting with the LOGO programming language) has also influenced the Dancing Computer project, with many of the dancer commands (such as translation and rotation) drawn from the turtle graphics nomenclature (Crayton and Svihla, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the design and evolution of the Dancing Computer project. Dancing Computer is an ongoing research project at the Michigan State University, which is developing a system that aims to increase computer literacy in elementary-aged children by teaching them first to read code before they write it. The main objective is to educate children on basic concepts of computer science. Design/methodology/approach Children are given tablet computers that present a simple program line-by-line that they execute as they pretend to be a computer. The programs are acted out on a portable dance floor consisting of colored tiles, and the program statements instruct the child to move, turn and act out dance poses and terminology. Findings The Dancing Computer prototype was tested in six different locations in 2016, reaching approximately 250 students. Learning was demonstrated by significant improvements in both task duration and error performance as students performed the activities. The most common errors were movement errors, where participants failed to move the correct number of squares. Social implications This project has the potential to increase the level of computer literacy for thousands of children. This project’s goal is to increase understanding of what a computer does, what a program does and the step-by-step nature of computer programs. Originality/value This is a unique and a different approach – the norm being to start students off writing code in some language. In Dancing Computer stages children as readers of programs, allowing them to pretend to be a computer in a fun and engaging activity while also learning how computers execute real programs.
