This project lesson takes students through the process of designing, developing, and showcasing new projects! This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this context-setting lesson, students will play a game intended to get them thinking about sequential instructions. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
Students will program a simple animated underwater scene in this skill-building lesson. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
Students will use events to make sprites move around the screen based on user input in this skill-building lesson. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
Online tools are empowering for kids, and they also come with big responsibilities. But do kids always know what to do when they encounter cyberbullying? Show your students appropriate ways to take action and resolve conflicts, from being upstanders to helping others in need. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
It's in our students' nature to share and connect with others. But sharing online comes with some risks. How can we help kids build strong, positive, and safe relationships online? Help your students learn the difference between what's personal and what's best left private. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
Students will apply their understanding of sharing personal and private information on the web by creating an interactive poster in this mini-project. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
This exploratory lesson helps students understand the challenges and benefits of respecting ownership and copyright, particularly in digital environments. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
This context-setting lesson shifts the focus from Sprite Lab to the Artist, a new tool that students will explore throughout the remainder of the course. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this skill-building lesson, students will create intricate designs using the Artist. The lesson ends with an opportunity for students to create their own designs. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this skill-building lesson, students will explore the creation of repetitive designs using variables in the Artist environment. Students will learn how variables make code easier to write and easier to read. After guided puzzles, students will end in a free play level to show what they have learned and create new designs. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this skill-building lesson, students will be encouraged to figure out how minor changes in loops will affect their program. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
This skill-building lesson will help illustrate how variables can make programs more dynamic by allowing values to change while the code is running. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this skill-building lesson, students will use loops with a powerful, new structure. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
This skill-building lesson focuses on for loops and using an incrementing variable to solve more complicated puzzles. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this skill-building lesson, students practice “for” loops with Artist. Students will complete puzzles to create complex designs and unique art. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this context-setting lesson, students will run and collect data from a simple simulation in Sprite Lab. After running the simulation multiple times, students will have an opportunity to predict how changing a variable in the simulation might impact the outcome and test that hypothesis. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
This lesson combines skill-building around events with a mini-project where students get to build their own computer simulation in Sprite Lab. Students will study the simulation to understand how quickly a virus can spread and what can be done to slow it down. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
In this exploratory lesson, students will train a machine learning model by classifying fish and other objects. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
Students will pretend to flow through the internet while learning about connections, URLs, IP Addresses, and DNS in this exploratory lesson. This lesson aligns to national Computer Science standards from CSTA.
