• Unplugged Exploration

  This module uses unplugged activities to introduce sequencing and events through dance instructions, card games, and acting out cause-and-effect scenarios.

• Getting Started

  This module builds foundational computer skills including mouse and keyboard use, basic computer components, responsible technology use, and computational thinking applied to morning routines.

• Programming Exploration

  This sequential story-driven module has students explore the programming interface, adding and modifying characters, backgrounds, pages, and motion sequences to build a Scout adventure.

• Sequences and Events

  This module builds sequence and event programming skills through drawing tools and show/hide and grow/shrink blocks, applying them to scenes like a snowball fight, alongside basic data collection and analysis.

• Pages

  This module teaches students to build multi-page programs and navigate between pages using the "go to page" block.

• Block Exploration

  This module explores speed, sound, and motion blocks to animate characters and personalize an "all about me" program, along with debugging practice.

• Loops

  This module introduces repeat and forever loops to repeat code and create animations like a frog-and-rabbit interaction and a fireworks display.

• Culmination Project

  This culminating module has students combine events, sequences, and loops to create an animated wildlife scene.

• Digital Literacy

  This module covers digital literacy fundamentals including protecting private information, conducting research, understanding data storage and files, and how networks connect devices to share information.
