Recommended for: Grades 1 - 3
Help your little sprouts grow their coding skills. Students will explore the basics of computational thinking and other coding concepts as they are observed in the natural world. Using an Indigenous lens, students will see what the Medicine Wheel, the changing seasons, and the creatures who live on this land can teach us about thinking like a computer programmer.
