• They practice and apply their skills in a variety of ways using
• Playgrounds, an interactive coding environment
• Playgrounds use puzzles, playful characters, and activities for coding instruction both in and outside the classroom
• Helpful guides integrate creativity, collaboration, and problem solving
• They also provide real-world examples of coding concepts that illustrate how code is used in everyday life
• Using the free Swift Playgrounds app, students can learn and experiment with real Swift code, the same programming language used by professionals to build powerful apps.

• Access to highly engaging Computer Science learning opportunities
• Hands-on exposure and use of district provided iPads for coding workshops
• Through Code Clubs young scholars experience learning through real world engagement, creativity, design thinking, teamwork, critical thinking, computational thinking, personalized learning and celebration
