CS Discoveries Beta Preview 2021

CS Discoveries 2021-22 Beta Preview!

For the 2021-22 curriculum, we’ve made updates to Unit 4: The Design Process and Unit 5: Data and Society. These lessons now have similar resources and structure as our updates to Units 1-3, including:

  • A slide deck for each lesson
  • Consistent lesson timings for a 45 minute instructional period
  • Consistent warm-up and wrap-up journal prompts
  • Question of the Day for each lesson

Many lessons also received smaller individual updates, but generally these lessons should still have a familiar feel to most activities with the same learning outcomes and culminating in the same projects as the 2020-21 curricula. You can find more details about changes to specific lessons in this changelog document.
