Coding
At High Rock in the 6th grade technology class we teach a unit on beginning coding through an app called Swift that expands and extends the coding skills learned in Elementary school. We are preparing students with some basic coding knowledge and language so that they can continue into 7th grade technology class where they will be text coding in a 3-D environment in a program called CoSpaces.




While at High Rock we use the coding program Swift, there are many different coding tools, apps, or websites out there, here are some we recommend at High Rock.

Look beyond the hour of code- there are a lot of advanced tutorials
