Technology

At FEFS, our Technology program introduces elementary students to the exciting world of programming and computational thinking. We teach students how to start computing through coding while building problem-solving and logical thinking skills.

For Grades 1–3, students learn block-based coding, where they develop the fundamentals of programming such as:

• Sequencing and order of commands

• Basic logic and conditional thinking (if/then statements)

• Loops and repetition

• Event-driven programming (reacting to inputs)

• Creating simple animations and interactive projects
  
  

For Grades 4–5, students learn text-based programming with C++, learning essential programming concepts including:

• Syntax and proper code structure

• Variables and data types

• Loops and iteration

• Functions for modular and reusable code

• Problem-solving through coding projects
  
  

Through hands-on projects, students gain confidence in using technology to explore, create, and solve real-world problems. By the end of our program, they have a strong foundation in programming concepts that will prepare them for advanced STEM learning in the future.
