Code.org® is an education innovation nonprofit organisation dedicated to the vision that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K-12 education and expand access to computer science in schools.  Code.org is the leading provider of K-12 computer science curricula. Code.org is supported by generous donors including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.

No matter if the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced coder, Code.org has challenges at all levels.

Not only does Code.org teach students how to code, but it also teaches them about the impact of Computer Science in the world around us and introduces them to careers of the future. Students are also introduced to the life skills of problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication.

Students use Code.org skills when coding with Robotics sessions in middle primary, with the school’s Dash & Dot programming (incorporating loops, conditionals, etc), to senior primary with many secondary colleges having coding units as part of their curriculum.

Forest Crescent Primary has been involved with Code.org since 2019. All students from Years 2 to 6 have been signed up for Code.org. The Year 6 classes usually code using Scratch.
