Computer science is all around us and can be used to elevate learning across multiple disciplines. This course will help elementary age students build a prototyping mindset as it introduces ways to integrate programming into various content areas, which include but are not limited to: math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. Educators will design lessons and complete activities using a block based visual coding language that can be intertwined into all learning experiences within the elementary classroom.
