Overview

Sample copy. Code4Kids’s Grade 3 Computer Science (CS) curriculum empowers students to apply foundational skills while exploring new dimensions of computing and problem-solving.

The Green Level curriculum introduces Grade 3 learners to creating algorithms, analyzing sub-problems, and using age-appropriate digital tools to research, communicate, and create.

Across 4 units and 12–20 lessons, students practice building simple step-by-step solutions, designing visual plans, and collaborating on projects using software and online resources. Lessons emphasize logical reasoning, safe technology use, and developing confidence in working with computing systems.

Each lesson is designed for a 45 to 60-minute period, ideally once a week, supporting growing independence and critical thinking in every learner.
