What each course claims
ScratchJr STEM
CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, Revised 2017
builds pre-K foundations toward CSTA Level 1A (K-2) in Algorithms & Programming and Computing Systems, following the Coding as Another Language (CAL) PreK ScratchJr approach
Scratch STEM
CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, Revised 2017
aligned to CSTA K-8 standards across Algorithms & Programming, Data & Analysis, and Impacts of Computing
Micro:bit STEM
CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, Revised 2017
aligned to CSTA K-8 standards (ceiling Level 2, grades 6-8) across all five concepts — Computing Systems, Networks & the Internet, Data & Analysis, Algorithms & Programming, and Impacts of Computing — taught through MakeCode block projects on the BBC micro:bit
Micro:bit with Cutebot
CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, Revised 2017
aligned to CSTA K-8 standards (ceiling Level 2, grades 6-8) in Computing Systems, Networks and the Internet, and Algorithms and Programming, taught through MakeCode block programming of a real ElecFreaks Cutebot robot car
Python STEM
CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, Revised 2017
aligned to CSTA K-8 standards (ceiling Level 2, grades 6-8) across Algorithms & Programming, Data & Analysis, and Impacts of Computing, taught through text-based Python game projects
Web Studio
CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, Revised 2017
aligned to CSTA standards (ceiling Level 3A, grades 9-12) across Algorithms & Programming, Data & Analysis, and Impacts of Computing, taught through front-end web projects that ship to a real URL
Ohana English
CEFR (Pre-A1 to A2+)
English Core
Oxford 5000 CEFR bands and published word lists
Every level's vocabulary ceiling is built from published word lists and the Oxford 5000 CEFR bands, and a machine checks every chapter against it.
Digital Citizen
Six published digital citizenship frameworks, combined into five promises
built on six published digital-citizenship frameworks (Ribble's Nine Elements, Common Sense, DQ, Council of Europe, Be Internet Awesome, Korea's Beautiful Digital World), combined into five promises (Balanced, Kind, Smart, Safe, Fair & Helpful), taught in one 40-minute facilitator-led lesson per age band (Kids 8–11, Teens 12+), with each promise mapped to the framework elements it draws on
MS Office
ISTE Standards for Students (2016), with CSTA K-12 CS Standards (2017) for the spreadsheet levels
aligned to ISTE Standards for Students across Empowered Learner, Knowledge Constructor, Computational Thinker and Creative Communicator, plus CSTA Data & Analysis (ceiling Level 3A) in the spreadsheet levels, taught through a simulated office suite that runs in the browser, with a hand-off to Google Docs, Sheets or Slides at the end of every chapter
