The Computer Science Fundamentals introduction and deep dive workshops include facilitation, curriculum guide, and ongoing support. Participants will see lessons modeled and have time to explore additional lessons for their grade. The curriculum courses allow for flexible implementation, and facilitators will help participants consider how they will implement the content.

Fundamentals Intro workshops introduce the K–5 curriculum and implementation options. Fundamentals Deep Dive workshops are available as a next step to go deeper into curriculum planning. Both workshops can be used by K–5 classroom teachers or out-of-school educators.

Persistence and Collaboration

K–5 students will experience lessons both at and away from computers. They will create computer programs that will help them learn to collaborate with others, develop problem-solving skills, and persist through difficult tasks. They will study programming concepts, computational thinking, digital citizenship, and develop interactive games or stories they can share.
