Partner Programs

Through our partnerships with Baltimore City Schools and with community organizations across the city, we provide Computer Science instruction adapted to age, schedule, and modality. Our project-based enrichment classes expose youth to computational thinking and a wide range of Computer Science concepts. For older youth, topics range from software application development to robotics. Offered as part-time in-school, after-school, or summer programs, we provide curriculum, materials, and instructors to ensure quality programming with measurable outcomes. Our standard offerings are detailed below, and other options can be designed upon request.

We welcome the opportunity to partner with you. For more information on these and other programs, please contact us at info@codeintheschools.org

KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 5TH GRADE

A strong foundation in technology, computational thinking, and coding is essential to 21st-century skill development and digital literacy. Prepare early learners by partnering with Code in the Schools to provide a co-teacher who integrates computer science in the classroom through project-based learning. In addition, Code in the Schools offers professional development for Elementary-age educators in a variety of computer science topics.

6TH GRADE THROUGH 8TH GRADE

Code in the Schools’ experienced instructional staff leads Middle School students in technology-related career exploration through hands-on projects that introduce fundamental Information Technology, Software Development, Cybersecurity, Game Development, and Interactive Media concepts in stackable modules delivered during the school day as an enrichment or resource class, or in out-of-school time.

Our courses require no previous experience in technology, as students have the opportunity to identify their interest in CTE pathways before choosing a high school while earning the computational learning credit as required by Maryland's State School Report Card. We also continue to offer City Schools’ district-standard Code.org curriculum with custom hands-on activities appropriate for each grade level, for up to 16 instructional hours per week during the school day. In addition, we can customize an OST experience to meet the needs of your community.

9TH GRADE THROUGH 12TH GRADE

To support the implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future’s College and Career Readiness pillar, Code in the Schools offers expertise in designing and delivering project-based, hands-on learning experiences in a variety of technology-related fields. We can tailor a program to meet your students’ needs either during the school day or in after-school programs. Options include, though are not limited to, the following:

  • Industry Recognized Credential (IRC) Bootcamps

  • Related instruction that supports Youth Apprenticeship

  • CTE Pathway Instructional Support

  • Support to establish and maintain Career and Technical Student Organizations (CSTOs)
