Computer Science is Elementary!

Franklin students are learning to code! Using the leveled activities in code.org, they are learning how to decompose a problem and form an algorithm by connecting coding blocks together. This involves lots of trial and error as well as collaborative problem solving in order to debug their programs. 

Thanks to the Computer Science is Elementary project award from the Governor's STEM council, Franklin students will begin receiving computer science instruction embedded into the general education classroom curriculum. Teachers will receive professional development about computer science in education and training on tools and resources for instruction.

Students can look forward to programming, robotics, and other computer science activities added to their technology time and library time specials classes. They will have access to a new set of ipads purchased with the grant funds to create with augmented reality and green screen technology. They will also create digital media projects that help build their understanding how broad the scope of computer science is becoming in our changing world!
