Creativity - Collaboration - Communication - Persistence - Problem Solving
Choosing Technology Tools in LPS - all LPS staff must follow this process
Solve cool problems and make cool things!

LPS Secondary Computer Science classrooms are active places that encourage exploration, creativity, collaboration, communication, persistence, and problem solving. We want to spark students' curiosity about what can be created with various technology tools. We build creative confidence!
Guiding Principles - from Resnick and Siegel
Provide students with opportunities to work on meaningful projects (not just puzzle-solving activities) so they experience the process of turning an initial idea into a creation that can be shared with others.

Peers: Encourage collaboration and sharing, and help students learn to build on the work of others. Coding shouldn't be a solitary activity.

Passion: Allow students to work on projects connected to their interests. They'll work longer and harder - and learn more in the process.

Play: Encouragestudents to experiment playfully - try new things, take risks, test the boundaries, learn from failures.

District & School Administrators

A research-based future-ready curriculum

We address students' uncertainty in planning their futures by focusing them on developing greater self-efficacy and transferable skills, identifying lifestyles and opportunities, and communicating the next steps before careers, colleges, and other costly commitments.

Not every career pathway will satisfy a student's lifestyle needs, but personalized Find Your Grind will inspire every student-the core ethos of Find Your Grind is to dare to create the life you've always dreamed of.

Turing Tumble - Build Marble-Powered Computers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Build marble-powered computers

Turing Tumble is a revolutionary new game where players (ages 8 to adult) build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles. It's fun, addicting, and while you're at it, you discover how computers work.

Discover how computers work

Computers are full of ingenious logic and astonishing creativity. They're everywhere, but most of us don't understand how they work. With Turing Tumble, you can see for yourself how computers work: The logic isn't hidden inside a computer chip, it's right there in front of you.

Hands on, screen off

Have a blast learning to code in a language without words. Turing Tumble blurs the line between coding and building machinery. There's no syntax to learn, no abstraction, and no electronics at all.

Great for educators

Kids learn best when they use their senses to explore new concepts. Turing Tumble teaches coding strategy as well as abstract concepts like binary, binary operations, and logic gates in a fun, tangible way. See edu.turingtumble.com for more.

Curious about coding? Want to build your programming skills? Or perhaps you just love a good problem-solving challenge?

We're thrilled to announce our new 10-episode series: Think Like A Coder. The series, in partnership with YouTube Learning Playlists, will challenge viewers with programming puzzles as the main characters- a girl and her robot companion- attempt to save a world that has been plunged into turmoil.

Check out the series here:

In our digital age, coding has become a basic literacy skill which gives us a deeper understanding of the technology we use everyday. Beyond being a much sought-after skill on the job market, coding helps foster creativity, reinforces math skills and develops our problem-solving abilities.

But it can be hard to know where to begin. Learning to code is like learning a language and getting started can seem like a daunting task. Luckily, if you have the right resources, the hardest part is just taking the first step. We've got you covered.

Think Like A Coder is joining the long list of free online resources for the code-curious. Here's a list of some of our favorite learn-to-code resources:

1. code.org has great resources for students and teachers. It teaches students the basics of programming through a free series of guided exercises and includes an extensive curriculum mapped to K-12 curriculum standards.

2. If you're looking for programming challenges, check out the Advent of Code, which is run by Eric Wastl, who consulted extensively on Think Like a Coder and inspired quite a few of the puzzles. The Advent of Code is a yearly event that takes place in December and involves 25 coding challenges linked together by an overarching plot. It's also available throughout the rest of the year, and the challenges it features are a great way to stretch your coding and problem-solving skills once you have basic proficiency with a programming language.

3. FreeCodeCamp has thousands of coding lessons and programming challenges, and you can even get certified for a few different skills.

4. University of Michigan's Python for Everybody Specialization on Coursera is a beginner-level intro to software development using python that focuses on interacting with data.

5. Microsoft has a 44 video series called Python for Beginners. In their words, "Even though we won't cover everything there is to know about Python in the course, we want to make sure we give you the foundation on programming in Python, starting from common everyday code and scenarios. At the end of the course, you'll be able to go and learn on your own, for example with docs, tutorials, or books."

6. If you're trying to decide what programming language to learn, a flowchart like this one may be a helpful starting point.

7. Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World by Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, is an excellent introduction for programmers just getting started.

8. For more experienced programmers, Cracking the Coding Interview is a great resource for problem solving with a variety of different techniques, as well as preparing for coding interviews (as the title suggests). Some of the puzzles featured in Think Like a Coder were inspired by this book.
