Mathematics
At Pico Coding, students develop strong computational thinking skills that support mathematical reasoning. By breaking down coding challenges, students practice logic, pattern recognition, and step-by-step problem-solving, which directly supports concepts like operations, algebraic thinking, and functions.
English Language Arts
Pico Coding aligns with English Language Arts standards by helping students develop the literacy needed to read, understand, and write complex code. Students engage with structured content, requiring careful reading and precise communication to achieve goals
21st-Century Skills
Beyond the traditional subjects, Pico Coding equips students with essential 21st-century skills that prepare them for the future. Coding fosters creativity, collaboration, and innovation—skills critical for thriving in a digital world. Our lessons encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking, aligning with CCSS goals for collaboration and communication.
Conditional logic
Donuts is a fun merge game where students combine donuts to create the ultimate rainbow donut while learning important coding concepts! They’ll start by using built-in functions to set up the game. As they merge donuts, they'll apply conditional logic to see how their choices affect the game.
User input
Arrows is a fast-paced reaction game where students slide blocks off one by one using the arrow keys that match the direction of the top block. Students will learn how to respond to user input and keyboard events. They’ll use conditional logic to build the basic mechanics of the game, mastering how to slide blocks using the keyboard's arrow keys.
