Technology 7 - Creative Coding

The Creative Coding curriculum provides students with an additional option in technology for incoming 7th grade students by introducing students to the basics of computer coding. The ultimate goal of the Creative Coding class is to inspire students to learn how to code while developing problem-solving skills essential to success in STEAM and other academic disciplines. This course begins with the key ideas of cyber safety, proper usage of the Internet, and how to control your digital footprint. The bulk of this course will consist of students taking part in an online coding community in the KidOYO learning platform called OYOclass. Here, students will have access to a wide variety of activities and lessons in multiple coding languages such as Maze Code, Hatch, Python, and Web. Each course section builds upon the prior, leading into a capstone website development project in HTML.
