Coding Galaxy: Junior

The Essential Computational Thinking Learning Platform in 21st Century

Quality Standard in Education and Technology

From award winning, Coding Galaxy is certified by Education Alliance Finland, which the evaluation criteria is recognized by educational researchers in the University of Helsinki in Finland and have confirmed that Coding Galaxy can boost learning efficiency.

Rock the Foundation of Computational Thinking with Diverse Learning Modes

Non-digital Activities and Teaching MaterialsThe comprehensive curriculum with offline teaching guidance and activity worksheets help teachers hold classroom activities and discussions, who can also keep track of students' study progress on the online teacher's portal that provides analytical data.
Digital Self-learning AppThe easy-to-use and gamified app increases learning motivation by matching students' learning mode nowadays. The in-app learning report allows students and parents to check results.
Flexible Learning ModeThe flexible and varied curriculum allows learning to happen not only in classroom, but also after class through the app to achieve self-learning, or even in extra-curricular courses, to master computational thinking.
PartnershipTaking local pilot schools using Coding Galaxy as data sample, we partner with a professor from the Faculty of Education of the Hong Kong University to study the effectiveness of gamified learning and assessment in coding learning.

International Standard

Coding Galaxy’s curriculum meets multiple international standards of computer science education, including CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standard developed by the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), which introduces fundamental concepts of computer science to students starting from elementary school level:

L1:3.CT.1

Use technology resources (e.g. puzzles, logical thinking programs) to solve age-appropriate problems

L1:6.CT.1

Understand and use the basic steps in algorithmic problem-solving (e.g., problem statement and exploration, examination of sample instances, design, implementation and testing).

L1:6.CT.2

Develop a simple understanding of an algorithm (e.g., search, sequence of events or sorting) using computer-free exercises.

L2.CT.1

Use the basic steps in algorithmic problem-solving to design solutions (e.g., problem statement and exploration, examination of sample instances, design, implementing a solution, testing and evaluation).

L2.CT.2

Describe the process of parallelization as it relates to problem solving.

L2.CT.3

Define an algorithm as a sequence of instructions that can be processed by a computer.

L2.CT.4

Evaluate ways that different algorithms may be used to solve the same problem.

L2.CT.6

Describe and analyze a sequence of instructions being followed (e.g., describe a character’s behavior in a video game as driven by rules and algorithms).

L2.CT.12

Use abstraction to decompose a problem into sub problems.

L3A.CT.1

Use predefined functions and parameters, classes and methods to divide a complex problem into simpler parts.

L1:3.CT.1

Use technology resources (e.g. puzzles, logical thinking programs) to solve age-appropriate problems

L1:6.CPP.6

Implement problem solutions using a block based visual programming language.

L2.CPP.5
