I plan on creating my own specific K-5 curriculum focusing on creating an in-person experience/course not just logging onto an online platform/premade coding game. In college, I learned C++ coding and still have those books. However, my K-5 students are not quite ready for it yet.\r\n Based on the curriculum I created in the past and research, I believe that transitioning to JavaScript after learning block-based coding using various coding/robotics platforms will benefit my students in the long run. It is importance to grasp the verbiage and how it relates to coding to aid with understanding more about web development and interactive features while also building their coding confidence. Beginning computer science coding at an earlier age beyond drag and drop along with having a role model to guide them can help increase diversity in STEM, especially in a Title I school (which is my goal particularly for young girls).","fullyFundedDate":1778015606829,"projectUrl":"project/computer-science-training-camp/10225328/","projectTitle":"Computer Science Training Camp","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pollard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3097038_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594770957000","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/qlbug-missp-"},{"teacherId":795419,"projectId":10199294,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our students by providing mini handheld fans for our classroom!
