About
In the Foundation Belt, students embark on their journey into the digital world with Codie, their friendly learning robot. Through nine engaging sprints, they build essential computing and programming skills while developing creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Beginning with the basics of computer foundations and Scratch programming, students gradually progress into computational thinking, digital logic, and hands-on invention with circuits. Along the way, they explore real-world professions and the ways technology is shaping the future.
This refreshed version of the Foundation Belt also introduces AI-infused learning experiences. Students learn what artificial intelligence is, how large language models (LLMs) work, and how to interact with them through simple natural language prompts. They use AI as a creative teammate—to brainstorm ideas, generate code suggestions, and enhance their projects—while also reflecting on its advantages and limitations. By the end of the belt, students will apply everything they’ve learned to design and build their own custom multi-level Scratch game, demonstrating not only their growth as young programmers but also their ability to collaborate with AI in meaningful, responsible, and innovative
