Teaching Coding Should Be Fun — Not Another Curriculum You Have to Build From Scratch

Coding lessons, robotics ideas, and K–5 roadmaps created by a teacher who spent years figuring out what actually works with real elementary students.

You do not need to be a coding expert.

You do not need a fancy robotics lab.

And you definitely do not need to spend your nights searching Google, Pinterest, and YouTube trying to figure out what to teach next.

I already did that part for you.

Hey Teacher Friend,

I’m Kate

My first year teaching elementary technology was HARD.

I had to learn everything from scratch.

I had to create my own curriculum while also figuring out how to teach Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.

And here's the thing...

They are all completely different!

A coding lesson that works beautifully with 5th grade can completely flop with Kindergarten.

My little learners needed to move, act things out, repeat concepts, and sometimes actually BE the robot before coding made sense.

My older students were ready to create, problem-solve, debug, and build more independently.

I was challenged, to say the least. 😂

It took me a good five years of teaching, testing, changing lessons, and trying again to really figure out what worked.

But the good news?

I saved everything.

I organized the lessons.

I saved the resources.

I found the coding platforms.

I tested the robots.

I figured out which affordable robots could actually survive being used by elementary students.

And I put the resources into organized Google Docs so you can have everything right at your fingertips.

You do not have to spend five years figuring this out like I did.

I got you. 💕

Where Do You Want to Start?

🌟 I'm New to Teaching Coding

You were handed a STEAM, STEM, Technology, or Computer Science class and now you're thinking...

“Okay...but what exactly am I supposed to teach?”

Start here.

My free Coding & Robotics Starter Packet will help you introduce coding concepts with simple, low-prep activities — even if you have no robots and a tiny budget.

You'll get unplugged coding ideas, student-as-the-robot activities, beginner coding concepts, and affordable robotics ideas to help you confidently get started.

Help ! I Need a K–2 Coding Roadmap

Teaching coding to little learners is different.

Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade students need movement, repetition, visuals, and lots of opportunities to practice coding concepts in ways they can actually understand.

The K–2 Coding Scope & Sequence gives you a clear roadmap of what to teach and resources to help you teach it.

No more guessing what comes next.

🤖 I Teach Grades 3–5

Your older elementary students are ready to move beyond basic sequencing and start creating, debugging, problem-solving, and thinking like coders.

The 3–5 Coding Scope & Sequence helps you build those skills year after year without piecing together random lessons from the internet.

Open the roadmap. Find your grade. Know what to teach next.

🚀 I Want the Full K–5 Roadmap

Want the entire progression from Kindergarten through 5th grade?

This is the roadmap I wish someone had handed me my first year teaching elementary technology.

The K–5 Coding Scope & Sequence organizes coding concepts by grade level so students can build their skills year after year.

You get the progression, resources, unplugged ideas, plugged-in practice, and teaching support — organized and ready at your fingertips.

I spent years figuring it out so you don't have to.

Coding Is Bigger Than Learning to Code

Here's what I learned after years of teaching elementary students:

Coding is not really about memorizing blocks on a screen.

It's learning how to give precise instructions.

It's testing an idea.

It's realizing something did not work.

It's finding the bug.

It's changing the plan.

And it's trying again.

I have watched students go from yelling, “IT DOESN'T WORK!” to calmly looking at their code and saying, “Wait...I think I know where the bug is.”

That is the magic.

We are not just teaching kids to code.

We are teaching them how to think, problem-solve, and keep going when the first answer doesn't work.

And yes...

Sometimes we do it by making one of their classmates pretend to be a robot. 😂

You Don't Need to Reinvent the Wheel

Teacher, your time matters too.

You should not have to work all day, go home, eat dinner, and then open your laptop to spend three hours searching for tomorrow's lesson.

I've done that.

I've spent the weekends creating curriculum.

I've opened 47 tabs looking for the perfect coding activity.

I've tested resources that looked amazing online and completely flopped with actual students.

So I started saving and organizing the things that worked.

Now I'm sharing them with you.

Use the lessons.

Use the resources.

Have fun with your students.

Then close your laptop.

Go outside.

Walk your dog.

Watch Netflix.

Go to dinner.

LIVE.

Life is too short to spend all of it working.

I got you, teacher friend. 💕
