PreK-2

Even the youngest students are capable of exploring CS concepts through unplugged activities, coding games, robotics, and block-based programming. At this age, students need opportunities to practice:

• sequences

• recognizing and using patterns

  • loops/repeats

  • procedures

• conditions (if/then)

• event-driven programming

• debugging to solve problems

They also need to be exposed to the vocabulary of CS. The overall goal is for students to explore CS through a series of challenges designed to:

1. introduce them to concepts, skills and tools

2. give them time to practice their newfound skills

3. help them make connections with what they are learning across a variety of technology platforms and disciplines.

Essential Question: How do humans and computers interact?

Enduring Understanding: There are many different ways to interact with computers: playing games, creating artwork, learning math, coding, and playing with robots.
