Blended coding course debuts for Indiana students

At the Indiana Department of Education Computer Science Curriculum Showcase in Greenwood, Indiana on February 21, 2019, CodeHS announced the first blended computer science course fully aligned to Indiana computer science standards!

In 2018, the Indiana Department of Education made great strides passing the Senate Enrolled Act 172 requiring all Indiana elementary, middle, and high schools to offer computer science by the year 2021-2022. In response, CodeHS launched the Indiana Computer Science I course to help schools quickly adapt to this change. Visit codehs.com/indiana to learn more.

The CodeHS Indiana Computer Science I course is designed specifically for Indiana schools and fully aligned with Indiana computer science standards. And, all CodeHS curriculum is free, so Indiana teachers can sign up online to view the full Indiana Computer Science I course today.

The course teaches the foundations of computer science and basic programming, with an emphasis on helping students develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. It’s highly visual, dynamic, and interactive making it engaging for new coders. Once students complete this course, they will have learned material equivalent to a semester college introductory course in computer science and be able to program in JavaScript.

CodeHS is a comprehensive teaching platform for helping schools teach computer science by providing web-based curriculum, teacher tools and resources, and professional development. There are over 500,000 students using the platform and 10,000 classrooms on CodeHS every month.
