This terrific website provides free lessons and activities that teach computer science. It’s a collaborative effort by the University of Canterbury, Google and Microsoft.

There are 3-6 lessons in each topic – there’s also a unit plan along with curriculum integrations. Some of the choices are:

- and more!
You’ll also find photos and some videos that illustrate the activities as well as links to other useful resources.
