ECEC 2025 CONFERENCE

Discover how to bring computer science concepts to life in K-3 classrooms! Computer science is a key organizing idea in the early science curriculum, but many teachers are unsure where to begin. In this session, we’ll explore engaging, age-appropriate activities to foster computational thinking skills in young learners. Using hands-on tools like Talebots and Scratch Jr., alongside unplugged activities, we’ll dive into playful approaches that make coding, problem-solving, and computational thinking an exciting part of everyday learning. Whether you’re new to computer science or looking to expand your toolkit, this session will empower you with practical, engaging methods to inspire curiosity and confidence in your students.
