CS Modules From Code.Org
CS Connections modules are a structured series of lessons that integrate computer science learning into core subject areas like math, ELA, and science. These modules are aligned to standards across subjects and culminate in a cross-curricular project. See how computer science meets language arts, math, and more in our curriculum!
