Francisco Cervantes: Director of Creative Learning of the Scratch Foundation. This is episode 527 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Francisco has extensive experience researching, designing, and implementing educational resources in K–12 computer science. Before joining the Scratch Foundation, Francisco served as the Director of HS/MS Computer Science Academics for NYC Department of Education’s CSforAll Team and earlier as a researcher with EDC's Center for Children and Technology.  

Francisco worked closely with ScratchEd’s Creative Computing Curriculum Guide while in these roles where he investigated how teachers designed learning experiences in computing education. He later worked with rural and tribal schools in Minnesota to build K-12 CS programs that support underrepresented students in computing.

His research interests include the development of computational fluency in young learners and the use of formal assessments in design-based learning environments.
