Facebook teamed up with Sphero Edu to develop CodeFWD, a free online education program targeted toward underrepresented and female students from fourth to eighth grades who are interested in studying computer science.
CodeFWD is designed for both English and Spanish speakers.
Sphero Edu uses programmable application-enabled robots to teach students coding and other computer science topics.
Facebook education partnerships director Lauryn Ogbechie described CodeFWD’s three-step program in a Newsroom post:
- I do: educators learning. CodeFWD prepares educators to introduce the basics of computer programming to their students, even as they may be discovering the concepts themselves.
WORK SMARTER - LEARN, GROW AND BE INSPIRED.
