Skill building beyond coding

  • 5 minutes

There are many skills Code Jumper can work on outside of beginning coding. A few examples are: 

  • Language arts teachers can use Code Jumper to have students learn about story sequence.
  • Occupational therapists can use Code Jumper with students to help with fine motor coordination, crossing mid-line, and problem solving as well as executive function skills.
  • Physical therapists can incorporate Code Jumper as part of their programs.
  • Teachers of students with visual impairments can incorporate Code Jumper into Expanded Core Curriculum lessons.

Code Jumper helps with K-12 Computer Science Standards. The standards are a set of learning objective designed to provide the foundation for a complete computer science curriculum and its implementation at the K-12 level.
