Engaging content & teaching resources

Pitop offers over 150 hours of standards-aligned computer science lessons and activities that are designed to take learners from basic block-based coding to advanced Python and AI. We want teachers to feel comfortable and confident with the lessons, especially those new to electronics and coding, so we offer teacher guides for each lesson to help them plan and progress through the activities with their students.

• Teacher guides include possible solutions to code problems so teachers know what to expect from their students. Work done inside of the code editor is broken down, labeled, color coded and carefully explained to help teachers that are new to Computer Science.
• Customizable content gives teachers the freedom to adjust lessons to be relevant to their students and provides differentiated learning opportunities for classes with students of varying skill levels.
• Collaboration and teamwork are encouraged with ideas for group activities and lessons so students can work together on projects, whether they are inside the classroom or working remotely.
• Formative and summative assessments are built in. All of the content has multiple formative tasks but also traditional and non-traditional summative tasks such as: multiple choice questions, written response questions, the ability to upload presentations/videos/ pictures/files.
