WHAT DOES COMPUTING SCIENCE LOOK LIKE AT EARLY LEVEL?

Computing Science is fun, exciting and engaging for learners of all ages and it can be introduced to early level learners through play across the curriculum.  

There are 3 organisers in the Computing Science curriculum, running throughout BGE. Computational Thinking is the golden thread that runs throughout our curriculum and our lives. It is intertwined in almost everything we do in life and encourages us to be curious about problem solving, creatively discover solutions and learn how to identify and confidently correct errors. Computing Science play-based provocations can be provided without any devices at early level (and beyond). Opportunities for unplugged computing science activities lay the foundations of understanding algorithms and programming and is a fun, developmentally appropriate way to introduce computing science with early level learners. 

IMPROVING GENDER BALANCE AND EQUALITIES IN COMPUTING SCIENCE

Computing Science (CS) is a creative, enjoyable and exciting part of our curriculum. All learners can enjoy the challenge of solving problems with coding, developing their understanding of how systems work or discovering how the world uses the vast amounts of data we now generate digitally. That’s why we have compiled these resources to help you ensure every child can engage with CS.
