Seesaw’s Computer Science curriculum engages every student in foundational computer science concepts, starting in kindergarten. Address core strands in your K-5 computer science standards on the platform built for student voice and creation.
Computer Science
Powered by Seesaw Instruction & Insights
Designed for Elementary
Empower young learners with inclusive characters, plugged and unplugged activities, and cross-curricular and reallife connections that inspire every student to see the impact of computer science in their lives.
Powered by the Most Powerful Learning Tools
Pencil and paper only go so far in supporting computer science skills, and other platforms are hard for young learners to use. Seesaw’s multimodal tools amplify fundamental skills at the core of computer science instruction.
Everything Teachers Need to Teach with Confidence
Grab-and-Go Lessons
Fits Every Classroom Throughout the Year
Lessons flex to fit into any instructional day, so they’re simple to integrate into core instruction, specials rotations, or designated computer science blocks with enough content to support Computer Science all year.
Instructional videos, discussion questions, facilitative prompts, practice activities, and assessments
Instructional Resources
Lesson plans, instructional templates, standard-alignments, answer keys, professional development, printable posters, family handouts, and a generative AI question assistant
Inclusive and Relevant Content
Diverse characters and real-life examples provide equal opportunity for all students to engage in computer science
Balance of Plugged & Unplugged Activities
Seesaw tools make it easy for students to capture hands-on learning and add layers of explanation and reflection
The curriculum includes key concepts beyond coding around computational thinking, digital literacy, and digital citizenship. It also encourages pair programming, which fosters collaboration in the classroom and maps to a common practice for computer scientists and engineers.

Students jump into Bean’s life and make real-world, hands-on choices that teach them what it takes to be safe, balance screen time, handle cyberbullying, and other critical digital citizenship skills.
In a graphic novel experience, seven diverse superheroes bring students through real-world choices that build leadership skills and teach critical digital citizenship skills.
Applying problem solving to the world around them, students learn the concepts of decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking in a fun storybook format
Students to explore the world with the Adventure Team to learn the four pillars of computational thinking – cognitive skills are the foundation for problem solving and future learning in computer science.
Through fun narratives and real-world scenarios, students join the Code Crew to collaborate, problem solve, and create engaging projects through plugged and unplugged activities in Scratch and ScratchJr
Students become secret agents and digitally code, problem solve, and explain programming decisions to help robots save planets from impending doom and collect motivating badges along the way.
Follow Hops and friends as they help students interact with interesting data all around them. Students create different types of visual data and engage in short classroom discussions that develop data literacy
Spark curiosity with lessons that get students investigating real-world questions and applying their knowledge.
Students team up with an engineer to solve problems using the design thinking method, complete hands-on challenges, and explore informational texts that build vocabulary and background knowledge.
We have partnered with our friends at Code.org to bring new computer science collections to Seesaw. Students will engage in cross-curricular coding activities and capture their learning on Seesaw with fun computer science Code.org lessons.
