Schools / Groups

K-2 Digital Skills: Students will be introduced to basic coding skills (patterning, sequencing, looping and conditional statements) through screen free technology.

Grades 3-5 Digital Skills: Students will be introduced to, or deepen their understanding of, basic coding concepts through the use of technology and problem solving. Classes with prior knowledge will be introduced to variables and multi-step algorithms.

Grades 6-8 Digital Skills: Students will use technology to create projects which problem solve various scenarios. They will learn the basics of physical computing, which includes circuits, electricity, and the connections between hardware and software.

Grades 9-12 Digital Skills: Students will use technology to collect and analyze data. With the help of the Pocketlab, a wireless sensor that connects to tablets and computers, students can stream their data in real time, helping them get a deeper understanding of the world around them.
