Why Ellipsis Education by Coder Kids, Inc.?

District partners choose to work with Ellipsis because they share our beliefs about
computer science education:

Computer science should be taught.

Ellipsis is a full curriculum that uses best practices for teaching and learning- just like any math or science program.

Computer science education should begin as early as kindergarten.

Students can code before they can read. Early drag-and-drop coding supports early numeracy and literacy.

Computer science is more than just coding.

Ellipsis includes four lesson types – unplugged, coding, digital citizenship, and STEM Careers – to support a comprehensive view of computer science.

Any teacher can teach and any student can learn computer science.

Ellipsis curriculum gives teachers the right materials and resources, so they can shine regardless of experience.

K-12 Computer Science Curriculum

Take a Look

Districts can agree that computer science is important.

But in real life, so much can get in the way of teaching it:

Student-led programs aren’t engaging (and sometimes – dare we say – boring).

Overwhelming focus on coding means computer science is taught in a silo.

Lessons repeat year after year, so students don’t progress their knowledge and skills.

It’s on the teacher to piece together resources from across the web, which takes time.

Thoughtfully Designed for Teachers

 

We make sure you have the curriculum, resources, and support you need to confidently teach computer science. That way, you can focus your time and energy on what’s most important – your students.
