Code.Org Computer Science in Classrooms


Code.org has developed an elementary school curriculum that allows even the youngest students to explore the limitless world of computing - at no cost for schools. The courses blend online, self-guided and self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” activities that require no computer at all. Each course consists of about 20 lessons that may be implemented as one unit or over the course of a semester. Even kindergarten-aged pre-readers can participate.                                           

Over 40 Central teachers from every elementary school participated in a summer training on computer science curriculum for Kindergarten through 5th grade students.  They walked away with some nice code.org swag and lesson planning guides with over 80 hours of content for their students.
