Comprehensive
We know that not every student learns alike. That�s why we�ve built individualized curriculum on a separate platform for K-5 learners and an advanced platform for 6-12 learners. Students all the way from Kindergarten to 12th grade can learn with Skill Struck. One platform has all your needs.
Launch Pad (K-5)
Using our platform Launch Pad, K-5 students will learn simple coding concepts through unplugged activities, interactive presentations, and block OR text coding. Once they�ve reached 3rd grade, they are introduced to basic HTML concepts. Every grade explores computer science topics such as cyber security, digital citizenship, and algorithms. They can also switch from block-based to text-based coding at a switch of a button. Students can also practice cross curricular subjects that hit common core standards in math, science, and ELL.
Voyage (6-12)
Using our platform Voyage, 6-12 students will learn about programming algorithms and abstraction as they practice HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python code. We offer beginning courses and more advanced courses for students for all levels of students. We also have a fully aligned AP CSP course for High School students to be fully prepared for the AP test. Students will be able to practice real-world tech skills through group projects, unplugged activities and interactive challenges, and more. Students will analyze highly relevant computer science topics such as AI, cyber security, data science, algorithms, the internet, etc.
Both platforms are carefully and intentionally designed to be accessible for students of all abilities. Both platforms are available in Spanish and English to help many ELL students.
Professional Development (Teachers)
Skill Struck has a full library of professional development to help teachers of all backgrounds be prepared to teach computer science. Individualized instruction for each and every coding concepts as well as live meetings with a Skill Struck instructor are available. Courses include the following topics: building a positive classroom culture with a growth mindset, pacing students of all abilities, accessibility, helping ELL students, tips and pointers for debugging, and more.
