Code.org: Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science. Their vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. They believe that computer science should be part of core curriculum, alongside other courses such as biology, chemistry or algebra.
Arduino: Is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the micro controller on the board.
Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide community of makers - students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and professionals - has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike.
Arduino is an easy tool for fast prototyping, aimed at students without a background in electronics and programming. All Arduino boards are completely open-source, empowering users to build them independently and eventually adapt them to their particular needs. The software, too, is open-source, and it is growing through the contributions of users worldwide.
Khan Academy - Introduction to HTML and CSS coding tag. Students will create and design a web page which will include images, information, text formatting, internal links and external links. Focus will be on correct use of coding tags. Students will have the opportunity to explore more with the coding tags as they progress.
Scratch- Students will explore basic coding and design an animated greeting card, game or a project of their own. Students will use block programming and SCRATCH to develop something new.
