K–12 Coding Fundamentals Program

8-week instructor-led sessions designed to build confidence and computational thinking skills

Program Overview

This program introduces students to foundational computer science concepts through age-appropriate, hands-on coding instruction. Students develop problem-solving, logical thinking, and computational skills while creating interactive projects such as games, animations, programs, and websites.

Program Length:

8 weeks, 1 session per week ( Part 1 and Part 2)

Format:

Instructor-led, hands-on, project-based learning

Technology:

Student-provided computers with browser-based tools (Must bring your own Laptop to each Class)

Standards Alignment:

California Computer Science Standards and CSTA K–12 Computer Science Standards

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the program, students will:

Understand core programming concepts (sequence, loops, conditionals)

Apply computational thinking to solve problems

Create a functional coding project

Develop confidence using technology creatively

Culminating Project

Students complete and present a final project aligned to their grade level:

  • •Animated story or game (TK–5)
  • •Python program or interactive tool (6–12)
  • •Website or application (9–12)

    • Only Students that complete both Part 1 & 2 will have a completed Project
