Grade 1
Unit 2: AMAZING APPs
ESSENTIAL Question: How do apps help us learn?
Project Description: Technology has a language. It’s called code. Coding teaches you how to solve problems and work together in creative ways. And it helps you build apps that bring your ideas to life. Students will work as a class to design their very own app. Students will learn about different kinds of apps and they'll apply coding concepts to create an app prototype.
