Approaches to Broadening Participation with AP Computer Science Principles
Get PDFThe Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course framework was created with the intention of broadening participation in computing. Research has produced mixed results on whether or not the framework succeeds in that goal. Given that teachers have significant freedom in how they choose to teach the AP CSP content, students can have a variety of experiences that may or may not impact their continued participation in CS. In this paper, I compare four different approaches to the AP CSP framework by examining their impact on AP exam scores, self-efficacy and confidence, belongingness and identity, and persistence and interest, to examine how these approaches might impact those traditionally underrepresented in CS. I also discuss how social and curricular interventions may differ in outcomes
Using Blockchain to Improve Security of the Internet of Things
Get PDFThe Internet of Things has increased in popularity in recent years, with daily life now being surrounded by “smart devices.” This network of smart devices, such as thermostats, refrigerators, and even stationary bikes affords us convenience, but at a cost. Security measures are typically inferior on these devices; considering that they collect our data around the clock, this is a big reason for concern. Recent research shows that blockchain technology may be one way to address these security concerns. This paper discusses the Internet of Things and the current issues with how security is handled, discusses how blockchain can shore up some of these shortcomings, and goes in depth into examples of how blockchain has been implemented to improve the security of the Internet of Things
Mach\u27s Principle: Why Are Some Reference Frames Inertial, And Others Not?
Get PDFMach\u27s principle is a conjecture that was popular among physicists in the early 1900s, and which still sees occasional interest today. The principle states that large accelerating masses induce a local inertial reference frame around them. This paper introduces the principle and its history, and discusses its influence on later theories, like Maxwellian theories of gravity and general relativity
