Creating sequences, recognizing patterns, and identifying cause/effect relationships are all foundational computational thinking skills developed by children in 香港六合彩资料's preschool and preK classes.

To support our young learners with these concepts, each preschool/PreK classroom has a LEGO Coding Express kit which is used to introduce students to early coding concepts that naturally spark their curiosity, creativity, and desire to explore.

Code.org's Computer Science Foundations

The foundational framework of resources for the implementation of Computer Science Education in 香港六合彩资料 are Code.org’s courses. The Code.org Computer Science Fundamentals curriculum includes courses designed for each grade level, K-5. The Computer Science Fundamentals curriculum also includes an “Express Course” which is great for students in 6th-8th grades along with units in the Computer Science Discoveries course.

Computer Science Mini-Lessons

香港六合彩资料 teachers developed brief Computer Science mini-lessons for teaching students in K-5 the skills addressed by Arizona's Computer Science standards that extend beyond the scope of Code.org's curriculum (which mostly align with the Algorithms and Programming standards).

CS Mini-Lessons for Grades K-2: Computing Systems | Troubleshooting | Passwords | Storage | Data Collection | Inference & Models | Impacts on Culture | Social Interactions

CS Mini-Lessons for Grades 3-5: Computing Systems - Devices |  Computing Systems - Hardware/Software | Computing Systems - Troubleshooting | Networks & The Internet  | Cybersecurity | Storage | Data Collection | Inference and Models | Impact on Culture | Improving Technology | Social Interactions  | Permissions & Copyright

Physical Computing Resources

The use of hands-on computing resources allows for the concepts to play out beyond the screen as students see their code come to life. Through a process of piloting resources and convening a team to dig deep into the evaluation of options, 香港六合彩资料 has identified a hands-on computing resource for introduction at each grade level.

• Kindergarten: Indi (Sphero)*Spring 2024 implementation
• 1st Grade: Evo (OzoBot) *2024-25 implementation
• 2nd Grade: Dash (Wonder Workshop) *Spring 2024 implementation
• 3rd Grade: Spike Essential (LEGO) *Fall 2024 partial implementation 
• 4th Grade: Bolt (Sphero)*2024-25 implementation
• 5th Grade: Micro:Bit (BBC)*Spring 2024 implementation
• 6th Grade: Hummingbird Robotics (BirdBrain) *2024-25 implementation

Schools serving students in grades 7th & 8th can offer Computer Science & STEM Exploratory course. These courses can be delivered for a single quarter, two quarters, or a full-school year.

In the middle school Computer Science course, students learn concepts including coding, fundamentals of hardware, basics of cybersecurity, and exploring the impacts of technology developments on life. Through the use of digital and physical computing resources like the micro:bit and Sphero RVR, students apply their skills to real-world applications.

STEM exploratory courses integrate computer science alongside application of the engineering design process. Each campus offering STEM has VEX IQ robotics kits for STEM lab units. 

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) provides students with opportunities to apply the design processes of invention and innovation. Students experience ways in which technological knowledge and processes contribute to effective designs, abilities, and skills. Brainstorming, visualizing, modeling, constructing, testing, and refining designs provide firsthand opportunities for students to understand the uses and impacts of innovations. Students apply problem-solving, collaboration, research, exploration, inquiry, evaluation, and engineering design to address real-world problems.

Students in 香港六合彩资料 can continue their journey with computer science at each high school in our district through the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program Software & App Design.

Additional CTE programs in STEM fields are also available at select sites:

• Air Force JROTC
• Biomedical Sciences
• Engineering
• Nursing Services
• Sports Medicine
