Recommended for: Grade 4-6
Join in for a FREE Digital Skills Week to get your students up to speed with the new Computer Science curriculum. Designed for grades 4-6, students will explore essential computational thinking concepts! Computational thinking is really just problem solving in a way a computer understands. Breaking a problem into simpler steps, following instructions in order, and recognizing when a problem is similar to something familiar. Learn computational thinking while exploring coding, games and activities!

- [Science – Computer Science] Students examine and apply design processes to meet needs.
- An algorithm is a sequence of instructions
- Artifacts are objects or products made by humans, machines, or computres through the process of design.
Grade 5
- [Science – Computer Science] Students apply design processes when creating artifacts that can be used by a human or machine to address a need.
- Design can be used to create algorithms and translate them into code.
- Code is any language that can be understood by and run on a computer.
- A loop is a repetition of instructions used in an algorithm.
Grade 6
