Tech Bytes is a teen taught class on various aspects of Computer Science. Teen Mentors, Rayaan Siddiqi, Labdhi Jain and Andrew Choi, host live sessions each week accompanied by online activities posted in the associated Google Classroom. Teens (12-19) may register at the library's website to participate and receive the code to enter the Google Classroom for more lessons and activities. Tech Bytes is funded by the Project Next Generation grant from the Illinois State Library.
Empowering teachers and students to start learning data science - with fun, free datasets
STEM Punks is Australia’s leading STEM Education provider and is now providing free online lessons in response to COVID-19. The lessons are all designed, filmed and developed by teachers to ensure learning outcomes.
Each week is themed differently and students are asked to complete mini projects, design prototypes and complete playbooks (all provided). Weekly projects are designed for the students to work autonomously with minimal to no parental supervision required.
We know that parents, educators, and girls are looking for support and connection during these challenging times. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to school closures and significant disruption to daily life, Girls Who Code is making CS educational activities available for download free of charge, to anyone who wants to access them. We will release activities weekly — some online, some offline, of varying levels of difficulty—over the course of the next few months. Each activity will include a feature of a woman in tech who pioneered innovative technology.
Hip-hop videos and creativity tools give teachers new ways to captivate students while engaging them in academically rigorous content.
Topics include Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, Scientific Practice, Technology & Engineering, Robots, Coding, Space

Develop 21st-century skills – Student creativity and collaboration are at the core of our platform
Learning computer science when schools are closed. Interactive tutorials in 45 different languages. Express courses students can use to self teach as well as Code Break — a live, weekly interactive classroom where our team will teach your children at home while school is closed, and a weekly challenge to engage students of all abilities, even those without computers.
With Hopscotch, kids can create their own programs. They write their own code, code that controls characters, using the app's drag-and-drop programming design. Kids can also add text to their programs. The character-based design of the app sets it apart from other apps. Created by the makers of Daisy the Dinosaur, Hopscotch is open-ended, meaning kids aren't writing code for characters to do specific things, another aspect that makes this game different. Kids can create what they want.
A game-based learning platform that promotes creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in an immersive digital environment.
