These activity kits will inspire students to express their creativity through a doodle. Students will be encouraged to explore the world around them, consider what the future could be like, and even learn how to code a doodle with a special lesson plan and game.
To help teachers or organization leaders pick the best activity for their students, the kits are broken up into four grade groups along with a special Coding a Doodle lesson plan. Parents can try these at home, too.
