This is the page for our full-year course. If you are looking for a condensed option for summer camps or short instruction blocks, explore our Computer Science Foundations Pilot.
Expand knowledge of foundational computer science skills and coding concepts. Apply to progressively challenging projects using ScratchJr, an introductory block coding language. Learn the Engineering Design Process, criteria driven coding, and debugging. Unplugged and Digital Citizenship lessons reflect on real-world issues, including strategies to keep information safe and how modern technology has changed the way we live. At the end of this course, students will have learned, practiced, and implemented foundational computer science skills.
Each lesson plan is designed to enable students to achieve specific learning outcomes related to course aligned computer science competencies. For example, at the end of this course students will be able to:
— Amy Giba, STEM Teacher
— Collin Yust, 3rd Grade Teacher
Not every student loves to code, and that’s ok. That’s why the Core Pillars of Ellipsis Education are at the center of every course. Each pillar includes activities built to engage every learning style in the classroom.
