Why Computer Science? Every 21st-century student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. The basics help nur-ture creativity and problem-solving skills, and prepare students for any future career.
Why teach computer science in elementary school?Code.org had developed elementary school curriculum that allows even the youngest students to explore the limitless world of computing. Courses blend online, self- guided and self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” classroom activities that require no computer. Each course consists of 20 lessons.
High-quality, professional development workshops, free of chargeCode.org is hosting no-cost, one-day workshops for K-5 educators interested in teaching computer science. Workshops will cover courses 1-3 and offer supplies needed to teach the courses.
“ I can’t think of anything that would improve this workshop. The workshop facilitator was very professional. This is by far the BEST workshop I’ve ever attended!”
“ This will totally change my curriculum. I love how the lessons are prepared and aligned to the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards.”
Thousands of teachers have participated. They rate our workshops 4.8 on a 5 point scale. The majority say, “It’s the best professional development I’ve ever attended.”

Code.org is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science education by
making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students
of color. The Code.org vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn
computer programming.
“ The facilitator’s passion for the content of this workshop was contagious. I learned a great deal and feel empow-ered to share this learning with students.”
