The Latinx population is underrepresented in secondary computer science (CS) courses as well as in the STEM workforce. By exposing Latinx students to positive coding experiences and encouraging a growth mindset earlier in school, Latinx participation in CS may likely increase. This poster presents the results of examining the challenges upper-elementary students noted in their reflection journals after completing a structured Scratch coding project. Students were also prompted to share how they responded to these challenges in their reflections.
