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 Fundamentals Pilot.
Explore fundamental computer science skills. Build projects and solve debugging challenges using Scratch, a block coding language. Develop computational thinking and analytical skills by identifying variables, loops, and conditionals. Unplugged and Digital Citizenship lessons discuss Internet safety, real-world technology issues, and a variety of STEM careers. At the end of this course, students will have gained the skills to independently code projects and expand upon their understanding of block coding.
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.
