Coding and Creativity for Students
Since 2014, a total of 1 million combined teachers and schools have adopted computer science and coding into their curricula, and for good reason: careers requiring problem-solving and programming knowledge continue to emerge in our world. Coding empowers students to stretch their minds in creative ways, while building an aptitude for problem solving. This course offers educators a start for teaching coding through a basic understanding of vocabulary and concepts, along with age-appropriate resources. You’ll learn about algorithms, debugging, loops, conditionals, and more as you engage with tutorials and activities for beginners. You will understand how to advocate for coding and computer science instruction that is inclusive, diverse, and open to all students. This course is perfect for the educator with limited experience with computer science, who wishes to engage in learning about coding with their students.
