: As computer science (CS) thunders its way into K-12 classrooms, lack of teachers to teach CS and pedagogically sound computing curricula remain significant challenges. This paper describes a design-based research (DBR) approach to create and refine a 7-week middle school introductory CS course— Foundations for Advancing Computational Thinking (FACT) —informed by research in the learning sciences and computing education, and designed for blended in-class learning using online materials created on the OpenEdX platform. The paper shares FACT’s success in achieving a balanced pedagogy to meet its goals for deeper learning of algorithmic concepts, and identifies areas for improvements.
