Engagement and Interactivity
Create & Learn's computer science curriculum is designed to captivate young minds through a blend of engagement and interactivity.
Hands-On Activities: Each lesson is packed with hands-on activities that encourage students to dive into coding, robotics, and more, transforming abstract concepts into tangible creations. Students are encouraged to present their progress during class, ask questions, and brainstorm together with a live expert.
Project-Based Learning: With a strong emphasis on project-based learning, students embark on exciting projects that allow them to apply their knowledge in creative and practical ways, from building their own apps to designing interactive games.
Inquiry-Based Learning: Engage kids' curiosity with successful pattern building. Our unique learning method ensures students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills they'll use even beyond the classroom. Your child's quest will lead to more creativity and fun!
Gamification: Additionally, Create & Learn integrates gamification elements, turning learning into a fun and motivating experience. Students earn learning and experience points as they progress, fostering a sense of accomplishment and a love for learning. With Create & Learn, computer science becomes an adventure where education and excitement go hand in hand.
Support and Resources
Create & Learn's computer science curriculum is designed with robust support systems for both teachers and students, fostering a vibrant community of collaboration.
Teacher Support: Teachers are equipped with comprehensive resources, including detailed lesson plans, instructional guides, and opportunities for professional development, ensuring they are well-prepared to guide their students. There's even the opportunity to use AIthena: a powerful AI tool that provides highly customized help as teachers prepare for classes. It guides teachers through lesson plans, helps them prepare class materials, and answers any questions teachers might have.
Student Resources: For students, a wealth of supplementary materials is available, such as teacher support via email, online tutorials and extra practice exercises including fun projects guided by an AI coach such as the interactive Python workbook, making learning both accessible and enriching.
Community and Collaboration: Moreover, Create & Learn emphasizes community and collaboration by creating opportunities for students and teachers to connect, share projects, and provide feedback to one another. This collaborative environment not only enhances the learning experience but also builds a supportive network where everyone can thrive together. For example, winners of the Congressional App Challenge have shared their insights in free events for students, and students can show off their projects and participate in fun challenges like the Code for Nature Challenge.
