Computer Science & Computational Thinking
Why Computer Science & Computational Thinking Matter
Incorporating computer science standards into everyday instruction is essential for improving student outcomes.
Digital literacy is in high demand. It not only enables students to code and manage systems in their future careers, but also builds essential skills like logical thinking, creativity, and resilience.
Rather than treating computer science as a stand-alone subject, we help educators integrate it across content areas—making learning more relevant and impactful.
How We Apply It
We use a variety of school-appropriate programs to help educators and students build confidence in computer science. Sessions are flexible and adjusted to each teacher’s skill level.
Educators will:
- Participate in hands-on coding challenges and activities
- Receive guidance on course structure, scope, and sequence
- Learn strategies for embedding CS across subjects like math, science, and ELA
- Build confidence with tools like block coding, robotics, and programming platforms
