During the last few decades, there has been a growing need for Professional Development of in-service teachers in Computer Science. This paper presents a systematic mapping of the research in this area published between 2010 and 2020. The study's goal is to map existing literature, understanding how research is evolving and identifying gaps that can prompt new research. The literature mapping is based on the analysis of 206 articles collected from various online databases, then selected according to defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. The study investigates the type of intervention/study, school level, geographical location, connection to curricula, learning objectives, phase of the research, size of the study, and type of collaboration. From the literature mapping, Professional Development of in-service teachers of Computer Science emerges as a rapidly growing and dynamic research area. However, some threats are connected to fragmentation of the research and the need for more cooperation to increase inclusiveness and international collaboration.

Critter Code is an innovative informal arts-integrated computer science experience created to provide a unique opportunity to reach students from underserved urban populations. Designed to make the connections between physical making and coding, learning to program becomes the bridge between a crafted “Critter” and its digital version starring in a student-created video game. This chapter offers a rich analysis of the impact of Critter Code on participants, families, and instructors through the framework of the self-determination theory of motivation. The chapter then describes Critter Code's application of collaborative problem-solving and student agency to create personal connections to the content to positively affect students' computer science self-identity and interest. Finally, potential classroom applications and future research directions are explored.
