We know that coding is more than just a technical skill—it’s a powerful way to develop problem-solving, creativity, and logical thinking. To help students explore and practice coding beyond the classroom, we’ve put together a Coding at Home flyer featuring free resources they can access anytime.
Why Encourage Coding?
Learning to code strengthens skills students already use in their core classes. It builds math skills through patterns and sequencing, supports ELA by reinforcing logical structure and problem-solving, and enhances science concepts like cause and effect. More than that, it helps students develop resilience, critical thinking, and a growth mindset—essential skills for any career path.
The Impact Beyond School
Even for students who don’t see themselves in a tech career, coding can be an empowering creative outlet. It allows them to design, build, and problem-solve in ways that connect to real-world applications, from video games to robotics to web design.
How You Can Help
We encourage staff to share this flyer with students and families who might be interested. Whether they’re curious beginners or eager coders looking for more challenges, these free resources provide an easy way to get started.
If you have any questions or need guidance on how to support students in using these tools, the Technology Integration & Innovation (TI²) Department is here to help!
Let’s give our students the opportunities they need to explore, create, and grow!
