Computer Programming for Grade 2-5

We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago.

That’s why our entire PYP and K3 joined in on the largest education event in history: The Hour of Code. During Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 9-15), every one of our students will be amongst over 2 million worldwide spending one hour learning the basics.

Our Hour of Code is a statement that Concordian International School is ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills. To continue bringing programming activities to your students, we want to make our Hour of Code event huge.

Grade 2-5 will use the Code.org programming app to learn to code. Each student has their own username and password. Students need to login to save their progress to be able to get a certificate. Here is a peek of our PYP students doing programming.
