Summary of Standards
Sample Alignment Grade 3
Computer Science Teaching Association Standards (CSTA)
Students will model how internal and external parts of computing devices work together, use data to highlight cause-and-effect relationships, create programs with sequences, events, and conditionals, and test a program to ensure that it runs as intended.
Common Core ELA
Students will learn new content specific vocabulary, engage in collaborative discussions, and review key ideas that are expressed.
Common Core Math
Students will generate patterns and add multi-digit numbers.
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will learn about forces an interactions, the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces, wave properties, and electromagnetic radiation.

"I would encourage other educators to engage with TinkRworks curriculum, and TinkRbot especially, because it is abundantly clear how impactful the instruction is on student learning and confidence. Even when students struggle, they persevere because they are invested in the outcome of their projects. They are learning grit and resilience through projects like TinkRbot, which is more important than any singular content area. Students are proud of their work and eager to showcase their TinkRbots. Any educator, regardless of experience teaching coding, will see success with a project like TinkRbot in their classroom."
