Computer Science and Engineering in Elementary?
Without a doubt.
Introducing computer science and engineering to children early develops an understanding of the world around them and how to improve it. Exposure to both in elementary ensures more equity in learning as children start to gain awareness and interest in STEM early on. This early exposure can help put them a STEM learning pathway and lead to future careers that they might not have considered.

Designing Lighting System 1 & 2
Students explore the properties and behavior of light and the use of light in engineering. The unit begins with the storybook Omar’s Time to Shine, in which a boy named Omar living in Egypt explores the field of Optical Engineering and then uses what he knows to save his school’s play performance by designing an improvised lighting system. Over the course of the unit, students investigate how light behaves when interacting with certain materials. Like Omar, students then follow the steps of the Engineering Design Process to imagine, plan, create, and improve their own lighting systems in a model tomb.
Programming Robot 1 & 2
Computer scientists program robots to complete tasks that are difficult for humans to do. In the story "Omar's Robotic Reach", when Omar loses a gem from his costume for a school performance, he programs a robot to retrieve it from under the stage. Students explore how to write an algorithm to tell a robot how to move, then investigate how to program a robot such as the Code & Go® Robot Mouse. They then follow the steps of the Engineering Design Process to imagine, plan, create, and improve a program to make a robot navigate a maze. Students extend their computational thinking skills to mathematical concepts as they practice strategies for addition and subtraction.
