According to Code.org:The course is designed to motivate students and educators to continue learning computer science to improve real world relationships, connections, and life. This course will teach students about computer science, computational thinking, and programming. It will also teach that success does not come on the first try, just like the world's most difficult problems aren't solved on the first try. Challenge is good when it is supported by plans and tools that lead to success. Students learn from a mix of online, self-guided activities and unplugged activities, which are traditional teacher-led activities that use no computer at all. 4.
