Incorporating coding into K-5 classrooms can transform how students learn, solve problems, and express creativity. By introducing computer science early, we empower young learners to develop critical thinking, perseverance, and a growth mindset — skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Today, thanks to free and accessible tools, any teacher can bring coding into their classroom without needing a computer science background Platforms like Code.org, Scratch, and the upcoming Experience CS (launching in June 2025) make it simple to get started and sustain student interest.
