Our Curriculum
The Coding Space Journey
Our customized curriculum was created to inspire your child to achieve their maximum potential through multiple years of coding with us.
Our student-centered approach combines project-based learning with unique platforms like WoofJS to create a personalized education experience, allowing students to be challenged at their individual level and pace.
Through out their journey, students will gain continued exposure to computer science principles.
Typical Journey for a Coding Space student:
- Grade 1 - Young Beginner
- Grade 2 - Young Beginner or Beginner
- Grade 3 - Beginner or Intermediate
- Grade 4 - Beginner or Intermediate
- Grade 5 - Intermediate or Advanced
- Grade 6 - Intermediate or Advanced
- Grade 7 - Intermediate or Advanced
- Grade 8 - Advanced or Teen Code
Young Beginner through Intermediate
The cornerstone of our curriculum begins with Scratch, a block-based programming language built by MIT. Students ages 8-10 will likely start here. Students under the age of 8 will likely start in Code.org, a pre-cursor to Scratch, completing several projects there before advancing to Scratch.
Skills Covered
- Sequential Evaluation
- Events
- Variables
- Loops
- Conditional Statements
Intermediate through Advanced
Students will begin working in WoofJS, our JavaScript learning platform, in the Intermediate class.
Skills Covered
- Syntax
- Arrays
- Functions
- Debugging
- Objects
Advanced through Teen Code
Students will begin working in Front End Web Development. After learning how webpages are built and advancing their JavaScript knowledge to make them interactive, they'll delve further into using APIs to send and receive data and libraries and frameworks to bring their programs to the next level. Advanced programmers also will get the chance to build databases and explore backend development through Node.js or Python.
