A) CS: Courses from Code.org for students in grades K-12

https://studio.code.org/courses/csp-2020

Computer Science Principles (for high school students) introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer science and challenges them to explore how computing and technology can impact the world. The AP Program designed AP Computer Science Principles with the goal of creating leaders in computer science fields and attracting and engaging those who are traditionally underrepresented with essential computing tools and multidisciplinary opportunities.

Computer Science Discoveries (for 6 - 10th grade students) is an introductory computer science course. The course takes a wide lens on computer science by covering topics such as problem solving, programming, physical computing, user centered design, and data, while inspiring students as they build their own websites, apps, animations, games, and physical computing systems.

CS Fundamentals for Elementary Schools (for K – 5th Grade Students) units are designed to be a great introduction to CS for students of all ages, and no prior experience is assumed. The courses blend online, self-guided and self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” activities that require no computer at all. Each course consists of a set of lessons that may be implemented as one unit or over the course of a semester. These courses work best in a classroom setting, led by an engaged teacher.
