CoderZ Adventure: New Worlds

Fully aligned to TEKS Technology Application standards
100% online, no installation required
For educators of all backgrounds

CoderZ Adventure: New Worlds builds on what students have learned in Trailblazers, as the virtual robot explores new environments that incorporate more advanced computing and robotics concepts.

Fully aligned to TEKS Grade 4 Technology Applications standards, the course reviews the topics covered in Trailblazers and introduces new ways for the robot to interact with increasingly complex and unpredictable environments. ELAR and Mathematics extensions deepen learning for digital ethics, cybersecurity, and data literacy.

Includes teaching guide with reflection questions, guidance for assessment, slide decks, quizzes, instructional videos, knowledge base, and class management tool!
