Computer Science Connections
Explore classroom-ready ways to connect computer science with math, language arts, science, social studies, and the arts.
This page highlights Code.org’s Computer Science Connections curriculum alongside other strong cross-curricular resources so teachers can find engaging ways to embed computer science into what they already teach.
What Is Computer Science Connections?
Computer Science Connections is a collection of resources designed to help teachers connect computer science with other subject areas rather than treating it as a completely separate class.
Code.org’s collection includes week-long modules and shorter lesson options that connect coding and computational thinking with math, language arts, science, social studies, and the arts.
