Coding and robotics are integrated into class starting in Kindergarten. Students begin taking more formal computer classes in fourth grade and continue through middle school. At the fourth grade level, the focus is on foundational computer skills: touch typing, word processing, creating slide shows, and the beginning of safe internet usage. In fifth grade, students begin learning Google Drive and Google Apps. They learn the basic building blocks of coding and some digital citizenship, to help them stay safe on the internet. The coding curriculum expands in the sixth grade, with the introduction of Scratch. In sixth grade they also do some creative projects such as animated cartoons and image manipulation. Seventh graders build on their previous skills with more extensive coding, video production, research techniques and data graphing, extensively integrating with their other classes. Eighth graders have the option of participating in an advanced coding elective.
