For our coding class, we will be using the Computer Science Discoveries course offered by code.org. It is an introductory computer science course for 6 - 10th-grade students.

Mapped to CTSA standards, the course takes a wide lens on computer science by covering topics such as problem-solving, programming, physical computing, user-centered design, and data, while inspiring students as they build their own websites, apps, animations, games, and physical computing systems.

Since this is a condensed course offered in the elective wheel, we will focus on Unit 2. In Unit 2, students will learn how to create and share the content on their own web pages. After deciding what content they want to share with the world, they’ll learn how to structure and style their pages using HTML and CSS.

They’ll also practice valuable programming skills such as debugging, using resources, and teamwork.
