Curriculum Pathway
Course A
This course is designed for kindergarten. Students spend 10 weeks on digital literacy, 10 weeks on sequencing, and 10 weeks on intro to coding. Each lesson is designed for 30 minutes.
Course B
This course is recommended for 1st and 2nd graders with no prior coding experience. Students spend 10 weeks learning how to sequence code, 10 weeks learning loops, and 10 weeks on a final pixel art project.
Course C
This course is recommended for 2nd graders with prior coding experience. Students spend 10 weeks on a rigorous study of loops, 10 weeks on debugging complex sequences of code, and 10 weeks on a final project with code reviews.
Course D
This course is recommended for 3rd and 4th graders with no prior coding experience. Students spend 10 weeks learning coding fundamentals (including loops and debugging), 10 weeks learning functions, and 10 weeks on a final project where they design a character for a code review game.
Course E
This course is recommended for 4th graders with prior coding experience. Students spend 10 weeks learning how conditionals work in code, 10 weeks building on previous knowledge of functions to write more complex programs, and 10 weeks completing a project using complex functions.
Course F
This course is recommended for 5th and 6th grade students without prior coding experience. Students spend 10 weeks learning to write code in JavaScript, 10 weeks learning about functions with parameters, and 10 weeks on a final project in which they design a video game character for a code review game.
Course G
This course is recommended for 6th grade students with some prior coding experience. Students spend 8 weeks reviewing CS concepts like loops, functions, and conditionals, 10 weeks problem-solving more complex challenges through computational thinking, and 12 weeks combining coding concepts and skills to craft elegant algorithms.
