From foundational digital literacy to programming and AI, Skill Struck gives Idaho educators a flexible way to build technology skills across K–12.
Students identify computer parts they can touch—keyboard, mouse, monitor—and connect hardware to CSTA standard 1A-CS-02, using a hands-on "hardware hunt & match" activity.
Students become "Pattern Detectives," using a color-and-shape key to encode and decode simple secret messages. They discover how computers use patterns and codes to store, retrieve, and protect information — an early introduction to data and encryption.
Students learn to build strong passwords, log out of shared devices, and tell the difference between public and private information online. Through movement games and real-world scenarios, they practice the everyday habits that keep people and their information safe.
Students collect real data from their classmates (like favorite foods or hobbies), then use code to turn that data into a graph. They practice reading patterns in data and explaining what the results tell them.
Students write their first lines of HTML code, learning how opening and closing tags build the websites they visit every day. They practice debugging their code and begin to see coding as a step-by-step, structured process.
Students act out how computer "nodes" pass information across a network, then explore how the internet breaks information into pieces, sends it across many devices, and reassembles it at its destination.
Students build on foundational programming and digital literacy skills, with a variety of languages and courses for teachers to choose from.
Students expand their programming and computer science skills with advanced courses, multiple languages, and career-focused pathways and certifications that prepare them for college and the workforce.
