Sulman LCE STEAM Grant
With a generous grant from the David Lear Sulman Computing, Science, and Engineering Fund, this early learning STEAM program starts your young learners on their journey into coding and robotics by bringing Jewish holidays to life!
All good things must come to an end. The Limudei Code-Esh (LCE) Program, offered through the generous grant from the David Lear Sulman Fund, has now ended. We offer our sincere thanks to Rose-Jane Sulman, who designed and supported the LCE program to bring innovative technology to young learners while incorporating computational thinking, STEAM, and playful creativity.
The LCE curriculum (see below) and ScratchJr remain free. Please contact us should you want information on bringing the screen-free KIBO to your students.
A Unique Early Learning Education Initiative for Jewish Day Schools
With a generous grant from the David Lear Sulman Computing, Science, and Engineering Fund, this early learning STEAM program starts your young learners on their journey into coding and robotics by bringing Jewish holidays to life! Current research recommends that students start STEAM learning in early elementary grades to develop computational thinking, confidence, collaboration, and individual expression.
Limudei Code-Esh Curriculum – This free curriculum integrates coding, robotics and computational thinking with Judaic studies, along with the on-screen ScratchJr and physical robot kit KIBO. The curriculum was developed by Professor Marina Bers of Tufts University and three Boston-area Jewish educators from Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Day Schools. The curriculum has been tested in grades K-3, and flexes for use in preK-5.
This 6 unit curriculum will introduce you and your young learners to coding and robotics through the lens of the Jewish holidays through ScratchJr and KIBO:
