Spirit of Technology (SoT) is excited to be creating an all-inclusive technology program for students in grades 3, 4 and 5. Students learn and develop core coding concepts: variables, loops, conditionals and functions. In addition to the typing and syntax drills, scripting exercises and logic problems, we also hold a technology ‘talk’ each week introducing students to different types of technology incorporated into our world today (Green Energy, Biotechnology, Wearables etc.). To develop technology leaders of tomorrow, our students are instilled with a holistic view of how technology is utilized both positively and negatively in our society.

When looking at a program for technology we strongly felt that students should know how to work with technology, how to program it and create new capabilities. Students should have a greater understanding of how technology is integrated within all areas of the world and how it is affecting humanity. Consequently, our program has been created to introduce many topics and ideas that go well beyond just programming and robots.
