About This Activity
THIS PROGRAM IS FOR GIRLS AND NON-BINARY STUDENTS. Science Coding Lab invites students in grades 3 to 5 to explore scientific ideas through interactive, hands-on coding projects. In this course, students investigate topics such as ecosystems, weather, motion, and simple machines while using beginner-friendly programming tools to model what they discover. Through digital simulations, animations, and mini experiments, students learn how scientists use data and technology to understand the world around them. This course makes both science and coding feel approachable and exciting. Students build confidence as young scientists and programmers while practicing problem-solving, logical thinking, and scientific inquiry. By blending creativity with exploration, Science Coding Lab encourages curiosity and helps students develop a strong foundation for future STEM learning. This program does not require previous experience with coding. Students will be using Microsoft Makecode for block-based programming and digital modeling. Disciplines: Computer Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Earth and Space Science
