#839: Anchoring Computing in Social Studies Through Co-Designed Concept-Rich Artifacts

Brazil’s new computing standards call for meaningful integration across subjects, yet practical models remain scarce in K-12 social studies. We report on a three-year co-design partnership with History and Geography teachers in which interdisciplinary units were organized around concept-rich computational artifacts. Across four units - alternative regionalization maps, local weather stations, revolt graphs, and expanded medieval timelines - these artifacts functioned as representational anchors that kept computing in service of disciplinary inquiry.
