For the first time in our nation’s history, coding and computer science education are becoming integral parts of school curricula, with 40 states mandating their inclusion through state standards. While this marks a significant step forward, many educators are now grappling with the challenge of seamlessly integrating CS into their curricula.

At South Bend Code School, we recognize this hurdle and are committed to empowering educators in 2024 by enhancing their coding knowledge and introducing innovative strategies for classroom implementation. Through our school partnerships, we offer educators hands-on, customized curricula and lesson plans tailored to your program goals. Whether you aim to meet state standards, integrate cross-curricular lessons, or enhance students’ computer science skills, we’ve got you covered!

Comprehensive Support for Your Tech Education Journey

Whether you’re initiating your tech education journey or seeking to enhance an existing program, we offer comprehensive support. This includes coaching, routine check-ins, and reporting for institutional stakeholders, along with student and educator surveying. Our commitment to ongoing support throughout the school year, including advisement and guidance as the world of tech continuously evolves, ensures a seamless and rewarding experience.

Choose from in-school programs, after-school initiatives, or a single-day coding event — all tailored to meet your specific needs.

Advanced Training Sessions

For educators aiming to delve into more complex coding languages, we offer specialized training sessions covering languages such as Python and JavaScript. Additionally, we provide opportunities to teach your students version control through systems like Git.

Forge Professional Pathways for Your Students

If you’re looking to introduce professional processes to your students, our program is designed for just that. It teaches students how to develop functional prototypes to address real-world problems they are passionate about. Students delve into essential business development concepts, including wireframing, developing a minimum viable product, user testing, product pitching, and project timelines.
