Curriculum
Our curriculum uses a combination of free open-source curricula and long-term professional development to customize and support implementation to engage students and create equitable CS programs for all.
Our Curriculum
BootUp’s free curriculum includes projects and resources designed specifically for elementary coders and coding educators with little or no coding experience. Our curriculum is divided into lessons and projects that use ScratchJr, developed for young learners in grades K-2nd and lessons and projects that use Scratch, developed for older learners in grades 3rd-5th.
We gradually introduce a variety of practices and concepts while simultaneously introducing young coders to a variety of blocks and tools in Scratch and ScratchJr. Each project is aligned with the algorithms and programming standards developed by the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA).
Our curriculum uses a combination of free open-source curricula and long-term professional development to customize and support implementation to engage students and create equitable CS programs for all. Learn more about our professional development here.
