Students build foundational digital literacy skills including mouse and keyboard use, computational thinking about morning routines, and basic computer concepts.
Through a sequential Scout Adventures story, students use drawing tools and learn to add characters, backgrounds, and motion-block sequences in CodeHopJr.
Students explore digital literacy topics including online kindness, responsible technology use, personal information safety, basic data analysis, AI decision trees, data storage, and networks.
Students explore foundational programming concepts—sequences, events, grow/shrink blocks, pages, speed blocks, and loops—through games and unplugged activities, along with an introduction to research and the design process.
