Grade 1 Computer Science Program

Cross-Curricular Computational Thinking

Sequence. Solve. Discover. First graders take on more complex programming challenges—delivering mail, exploring electricity, and mapping coordinates—all while reinforcing grade-level content standards.
Deeper Sequencing

Deeper Sequencing

Students build multi-step programs to deliver letters, spell words, and navigate mazes—developing more complex algorithmic thinking.

Science Integration

Science Integration

Lessons explore forces (push and pull), electricity, habitats, and leaf characteristics through Bee-Bot activities.

Geography and Mapping

Geography and Mapping

Students learn cardinal directions, map coordinates, and historical event sequencing through programming challenges.

Extended Materials

Extended Materials

Includes Sound Squares, a Changeable Maze, and additional curriculum volumes for richer learning experiences.

What Students Will Do

Through 15 lessons, first graders build on kindergarten foundations with more complex programming and deeper content connections.
  • Write letters to storybook characters and program Bee-Bot to deliver them
  • Practice spelling by writing clues that spell messages
  • Explore 3-D shapes and their properties through robot navigation
  • Investigate push and pull forces using Bee-Bot
  • Classify items that use or don't use electricity
  • Develop map skills with cardinal directions and pirate routes

Step 1—Review and Extend: Students reconnect with Bee-Bot's controls and practice multi-step sequences, building on kindergarten foundations.

Step 2—Tackle Content Challenges: Each lesson presents a curricular challenge—delivering mail to a storybook character, finding the sum of dice, or classifying items that use electricity.

Step 3—Program and Debug: Students plan their sequence, enter it into Bee-Bot, test, and revise. Challenges increase in complexity as the program progresses.

Step 4—Explore New Tools: Sound Squares add audio feedback, the Changeable Maze introduces obstacle navigation, and mapping activities develop spatial reasoning beyond the grid.

Career-Connected Computer Science

The 1st Grade Computer Science Program builds the logical thinking and problem-solving skills that connect to careers in technology, science, and creative industries. Students practice sequencing, debugging, and spatial reasoning—the same foundations used by software engineers, urban planners, and logistics professionals.

Industry Applications: Software development, logistics and delivery systems, cartography, environmental science, and education technology.

  • Push, Bee-Bot, Push!—Focus on the concept of force and push and pull as well as scientific inquiry.
  • Electricity—Explore the classroom and classify items that use or don't use electricity.
  • Habitats—Apply knowledge of habitats and match images or definitions to words using the programmed Bee-Bot.

Geography and Social Studies Lessons:

  • N, E, S, W—Develop understanding of map directions and how they relate to left, right, forward, back.
  • Plan a Pirate Route—Develop understanding of giving and following directions and mapping coordinates.
  • Bee-Bot Challenge—Design a program so Bee-Bot will visit all the squares on the grid.
  • Historical Events—Program Bee-Bot to follow a sequence in a historical event.
  • Bee-Bot Knight—Build up sequences of instructions into Bee-Bot to help a knight win a battle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Kindergarten Computer Science Program?

The 1st Grade program builds on kindergarten foundations with more complex sequencing challenges, deeper content connections (electricity, 3-D shapes, mapping), and additional materials like Sound Squares and a Changeable Maze.

Do teachers need coding experience?

No. Complete lesson plans are included, and a 45-minute onboarding session is provided.

Do students need tablets or computers?

No. Bee-Bot is completely screen-free. Students program the robot using tactile buttons directly on the device.

What subjects do the lessons cover?

Lessons span literacy (storybooks, spelling), math (addition, shapes), science (forces, electricity, habitats), and geography/social studies (mapping, historical events).

How long is the curriculum?

15 lessons at approximately 30-45 minutes each.

Can I purchase this without the Kindergarten Computer Science Program?

Absolutely! Each grade-level program is sold independently and includes everything you need to get started. That said, many schools find that layering programs across grade levels creates a seamless K–5 computer science pathway that builds skills year over year.
