STEMSCOPES CODING POWERED BY BITSBOX

A FULLY HANDS-ON, PERSONALIZED CODING EXPERIENCE

Other coding programs simulate the process with block-based learning. We do it differently.

STEMscopes Coding allows your students to type their JavaScript code for a fully hands-on, personalized experience. On top of that, they’ll have a blast! In fact, your students will love it so much that you may spot them coding apps at recess.

DIVE INTO STEMSCOPES CODING

Make & share real apps

The best way to learn to code is by diving in and writing real code. From their first minute, students work on projects that they can customize to suit their own interests. Anything they make is easy to share with friends and family.

Typed JavaScript programming

Based on the JavaScript programming language, Bitsbox provides a set of commands that make it easier for rote beginners to create apps with graphics, animation, interactivity, and sound. Students build their apps by typing code, just like the pros.

Supports science, math & ELA standards

Hard to find time for coding in your curriculum? Every coding project is mapped to a set of cross-curricular academic standards. Additionally, most projects include opportunities for exploration of topics in science, math, and ELA.

Built upon the IDEA instructional model

The IDEA lesson model provides constructivist pedagogy and facilitation to guide you through instruction. While lessons and key concept moments are provided, students can code apps independently or as an at-home project.

Dozens of open-ended projects

With dozens of coding examples in the realm of creativity, games, stories, and simulations, students learn by building, then extending, and on to inventing their own working apps. Each project on this site is a starting place for a hundred more.

No experience required

Teachers don’t have to be programmers to help their students learn to code. All it takes is time, attention to detail, practice, and a shared delight in helping young people realize their potential and bring their ideas to life.
