Empower tomorrow’s tech innovators
Our students are avid users and consumers of technology. Isn’t it time that they see themselves as the next technological innovators, too? Computational Thinking and Coding for Every Student is the beginner’s guide for K-12 educators who want to learn to integrate the basics of computer science into their curriculum. Readers will find
- Strategies and activities for teaching computational thinking and coding inside and outside of school, at any grade level, across disciplines
- Instruction-ready lessons for every grade

"Change in education and schooling comes in waves, and coding, computer science, and computational thinking represent the next very big wave. This very readable book will introduce teachers, parents and students to the future." (Dr Neil MacNeill, PhD, EdD.)
This book will help a lot of educators take their first steps toward bringing
high quality programming experiences to their students. It offers clear examples
and good strategies supported by research and best practices. (Sylvia Martinez)
Wondering whether this book is for you? Check out the “dos and don’ts” of
Chapter 5 and then take them to heart. I did! (Dr. James Cohoon)
This book is so clear and so encouraging. I recommend it to my Girls Excelling
in Math and Science (GEMS) leaders as we work to incorporate more
computer science into our activities. The authors present a comprehensive
introduction to computing in a way that’s useful, readable, and fun. (Laura Reasoner Jones)
