CS Kindergarten - Elementary
By showing you these computer science resources we hope we can help you integrate computer science into the subject you teach. We don't expect you to replace your entire curriculum with robots. We hope we can provide computer-oriented assistance for your subject and give new ways for your students to learn. We don't want to reinvent the wheel, we want to help it spin!
A large amount of these resources are from Hour of Code, a great place to find beginner coding activities. If you need any help integrating comptuer science with your subject, please contact your assigned teacher specialist.
