Students are introduced to various topics in CS, including: text-based coding languages, web design, digital citizenship, networks, and game design. In the final year of this pathway, students take an introductory coding course in Python that will prepare them for high school CS courses.
Students learn how to code in a text-based environment and are introduced to the basics of coding in Python across three courses.
This table shows our recommended 6-12 curriculum pathway which provides a robust, coherent computer science pathway that teaches students 5 programming languages over the course of middle school and high school. The courses include block programming and significant text-based programming. The pathway starts with courses for beginners with no experience and builds to college-level courses.
This is the pathway for Nebraska middle school, with three courses aligned to Nebraska Technology Standards.
Students are introduced to programming in Python, first by creating graphics with the turtle library and through console Python.
