Students create animations, interactive artwork, photograph filters, and other exciting, artistic projects using code.
Students complete a set of offline, unplugged activities introducing computer science concepts that show how technology keeps us connected.
Students provide details about a character who is missing a school assignment and use code to describe the character's actions, thoughts, and words.
Students will choose an everyday hero from their own life and build a story or game using code that gives their hero superpowers.
Students bring the Google logo to life using code, utilizing programming and design.
Students program a conversation between two characters to explore the role of dialogue in storytelling.
Students build fashion-themed programs including a fashion walk, a stylist tool, and a pattern maker.
Students explore Figurative Language with an emphasis on metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and idioms.
Students work in pairs, tell the story of how their friendship started, and imagine a company together.
Students learn basic video game coding concepts by making different types of games, including racing, platform, and launching.
This document is intended to guide you as you start your CS First experience. It provides an overview of how CS First works, and should be used in conjunction with your lesson-specific plans (available on the CS First website).
In this collaboration between Cartoon Network and CS First, students tell a story using the characters from “The Amazing World of Gumball.”
Students create a new presentation, or take an existing one, and make it interactive.
Students play musical notes, create a music video, and build an interactive music display.
Students take an existing story and explore first and third person point of view.
Students will build a project about an idea, activity, item, or cause they feel strongly about.
Students use computer science to simulate extreme sports, make their own commercial, and create commentary for a sporting event.
Students use code to tell fun and interactive stories. Storytelling emphasizes creativity by encouraging students to tell a unique story each day.
Does what you do online always stay online? Students learn that the information they share online leaves a digital footprint or "trail." Depending on how they manage it, this trail can be big or small, and harmful or helpful. Students compare different trails and think critically about what kinds of information they want to leave behind. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
The internet is filled with all kinds of interesting people, but sometimes, some of them can be mean to each other. With this role play, help your students understand why it's often easier to be mean online than in person, and how to deal with online meanness when they see it. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
