Computer science (CS) literacy is crucial for a comprehensive 21st-century education. Unfortunately, many elementary schools lack age-appropriate CS education, especially for English Learners (ELs). This issue stems from various factors, such as limited time for CS instruction, teachers' lack of CS training, and the complexity of CS materials, making them challenging for ELs. Moreover, grant-funded CS initiatives often cease when funding ends. Beyond CS, modern classrooms must address environmental sustainability, requiring a transdisciplinary approach that combines various disciplines, including CS.

This project focuses on using environmental sustainability (ES) as a context for authentic transdisciplinary CS learning, aligning with science and social studies standards and supporting linguistically inclusive pedagogies. It involves a multidisciplinary team developing CS-integrated curricular modules and training materials for elementary teachers working with ELs. The project modifies existing lessons to include more ES and CS content, addressing teachers' time constraints.
