Why Teachers Choose It
They trace short programs and predict the exact output, then write their own code, so they know what each line does.
In most units, students plan, build and test their own program, like a calculator or a program that makes decisions. The year ends with a big project they show on Demo Day.
In 39 of the 49 lessons, students can use CodeGrove, our in-browser code lab, on a computer or tablet. Every online version has a paper version that works with no internet.

Each day's plan is timed activity by activity against real reading and writing speeds.
