With new changes to TEKS for the 2024-2025 school year, we are preparing your educators with the platform, tools, and resources they need to successfully implement. CoderZ is aligned with the TEKS Tech App Standards in Computational Thinking and Creativity & Innovation.
Our courses are also specifically scaffolded with creativity and collaboration in mind. CoderZ gives students a foundation in computational thinking with a design that incorporates authentic problem solving with real-world solutions as opposed to just battling or tinkering.
