In addition, every project is mapped to a set of cross-curricular academic standards to make it easier to find time for coding in the curriculum.”

STEMscopes Coding teaches students how to design and build apps to share on any device. Unlike other coding programs that simulate the process with block-based learning, STEMscopes Coding allows students to type their JavaScript code for a hands-on, personalized experience. They can create their own games, simulations, and storytelling apps with graphics, animation, interactivity, and sound.
STEMscopes Coding features three types of projects: App, How Do I, and Challenge. App projects provide an example of the code while students follow along. How Do I projects walk students through a task, and Challenge projects allow them to use their newly learned knowledge to write their own code. All projects are open-ended and include standards-aligned lessons for computer science, science, English language arts, or math.
