To kick off the final unit of this course, students will do some research into interesting innovations in computing. This lesson will expose students to wider variety of computing form factors (what a computer looks like) and fields that are impacted by computing. Later in this unit students will look back on the devices they encountered in this lesson as they develop their own physical computing devices.

A Christmas Carol LessonThis lesson uses the acronym STEAL to teach characterization as students read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Time Frame: 10 ELA blocks of about 30 min each.
Can you have too many presents, too much holiday food, too much cheer? When little Noelle wishes for Christmas every day, she gets more than she bargained for in the delightful new YourClassical Storytime episode Christmas Every Day, featuring traditional music of the holiday season and art by Nancy Carlson.
Code Club is a global network of free coding clubs
for 9- to 13-year-olds.
Welcome! Here you’ll find step-by-step instructions for our coding projects, which will teach you how to create games, animations and more with code.
CodeHS courses teach students applicable computer science skills. With a focus on helping students develop problem solving and computational thinking skills, students come away both with a knowledge of professional programming languages and the conceptual understanding needed to learn new languages.
Students develop their understanding of nested loops, while loops, conditionals, and events. Beyond coding, students learn about digital citizenship.
Course D was created for students who read at roughly a third grade level. Angles and mathematical concepts are introduced with helpful videos and hints.
The course begins with a review of the concepts found in Courses A, B, and C. This review helps introduce or refresh basic ideas such as repeat loops and events. Students will develop their understanding of algorithms, nested loops, while loops, conditionals, and events. Lessons on digital citizenship are also included. This course is crafted to build a strong foundation of basic concepts before opening up to a wide range of new and exciting topics.
Learn the basics of computer science and internet safety. At the end of the course, create your very own game or story you can share.
CS Fundamentals Express combines the best of Courses A-F into a single condensed course (with a simpler option for pre-readers). We recommend Courses A-F for most classrooms, but if your school only offers one computer science course or you want to have your students work through multiple courses in a single year, the Express course is a better choice. By removing the ramp up between years, the express course provides a smoother path and doesn’t repeat concepts for students unnecessarily. This is also our recommended option for students studying computer science on their own, outside of a classroom.
Join us as we step into Samie Ott's classroom at Bryce Valley Elementary and witness firsthand how Utah's Computer Science standards are being integrated into the curriculum. In this episode of UEN's PDTV, you'll see Samie's students showcase their learning journey as they demonstrate their mastery of computational thinking.
Computer Science Principles introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer science and challenges them to explore how computing and technology can impact the world. More than a traditional introduction to programming, it is a rigorous, engaging, and approachable course that explores many of the foundational ideas of computing so all students understand how these concepts are transforming the world we live in.
This year-long course can be taught as an AP or non-AP course - no prerequisites required for students or for teachers new to computer science! In addition, our curriculum is available at no cost for anyone, anywhere to teach.
Students will recognize that computer science is so important because it can be found in almost every career. Don't wait, start learning how to code today.
