Coding & Programming Resources for Parents & Teachers

To encourage exploration of the 5 C's (Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Citizenship) in conjunction with 21st Century learning, coding and programming have become key concepts for students to learn in preparation for future careers. 

Coding and programming concepts involve learning how to logically sequence events, learn computational thinking by developing abilities in algorithmic and design thinking, utilize creative and critical thinking skills to problem solve, and so much more!

Listed below are some resources about coding and programming. Some will include various sites students can visit to learn and test out these concepts; some of these sites will be free to access, while others may require a subscription or at least some sort of login to register and set up.
