This study introduces an integrated curriculum designed to empower underrepresented students by combining environmental literacy, data literacy, and computer science. The framework promotes environmental awareness, data literacy, and civic engagement using a culturally sustaining approach. This integrated curriculum is embedded with resources to support language development, technology skills, and coding skills to accommodate the diverse needs of students. To evaluate the effectiveness of this curriculum, we conducted a pilot study in a 5th-grade special education classroom with multilingual Latinx students. During the pilot, students utilized Scratch, a block-based coding language, to create interactive projects that showcased locally collected data, which they used to communicate environmental challenges and propose solutions to community leaders. This approach allowed students to engage with environmental literacy at a deeper level, harnessing their creativity and community knowledge in the digital learning environment. Moreover, this curriculum equipped students with the skills to critically analyze political and socio-cultural factors impacting environmental sustainability. Students not only gained knowledge within the classroom but also applied their learning to address real environmental issues within their community. The results of the pilot study underscore the efficacy of this integrated approach.

翻译：本研究提出一项整合课程，旨在通过融合环境素养、数据素养与计算机科学，赋能弱势学生群体。该框架采用文化可持续性方法，促进环境意识、数据素养及公民参与。课程中嵌入了支持语言发展、技术技能与编程技能的多种资源，以满足学生的多元化需求。为评估课程有效性，我们在一个由多语种拉丁裔学生组成的五年级特殊教育班级中开展了试点研究。学生使用基于模块的编程语言Scratch创建交互式项目，展示本地采集的数据，借此向社区领袖传达环境挑战并提出解决方案。该方法使学生得以在数字学习环境中深度参与环境素养教育，充分发挥创造力与社区知识。此外，该课程培养学生批判性分析影响环境可持续性的政治与社会文化因素的能力。学生不仅掌握了课堂知识，更将所学应用于解决社区实际环境问题。试点研究结果验证了这种整合方法的有效性。
