Education for Innovation Resources
Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF) has resources called: Education for Innovation:Grades 1-8 and Education for Innovation: Grades 7-12.

These resources provide activities educators can use to help students develop innovation skills applicable to all subjects and sectors, from science and technology to arts and social sciences.

RHF is an independent and non-political charitable organization that fosters a culture of innovation in Canada by celebrating our national accomplishments as well as providing a platform for innovators to grow and connect. The education resource guides are available for free download at: www.canadianinnovationspace.ca.

If you want to learn to program, you need to write (a lot of) code.
At CodeCombat, our job is to make sure you're doing that with a smile on your face.

This site offers the opportunity for students to Code a Dance Party to share with their friends. Use coding and music to be creative. Included are dance party activities, teacher resources, and an unplugged dance party activity where no computers are needed and student can learn coding concepts to choreograph a dance party. together. Look for lots of videos and resources for inspiration.

CodeHS is a comprehensive teaching platform for helping schools teach computer science. We provide web-based curriculum, teacher tools and resources, and professional development.

This lesson for English Language Learners (ELLs) introduces an important job for the future, computer programmer. In this lesson, learners will practice reading, listening, speaking and writing. All activities are automatically graded with feedback provided to the learner upon submission.

Google's Code Next program works with high schoolers to cultivate the next generation of Black, Latinx and Indigenous tech leaders.

"Code Next is a free, computer science education program that meets Black, Latinx and Indigenous high school students in their own communities, and provides the skills and inspiration they need for long and rewarding careers in computer science-related fields. Between 2011 and 2018, Black, Hispanic and Indigenous college students each only made up 3.5 percent of computer science graduates — Code Next plans to change that."

Plus access to all the Hour of Code games/coding activities!

Create your own Pac Man game using this 1 hour tutorial. So cool!

Kids can use Codeable Crafts to create simple animated stories. Give kids a general theme (for example, what did you do over the summer break?) and let them use their imaginations to create stories on that theme. Talk about storytelling, such as following a story arc and introducing characters. Kids can work on their language and verbal skills as they narrate their story. Save the stories and show them to the class. For a tech or computer class, Codeable Crafts can be a starter app for introducing programming. Carefully explain and explore what each coding block does, and give kids lots of room to experiment on their own.

Each month, we’ve selected a different theme encouraging people (like you!) to inspire your projects during our learning experiences. Here are some ideas on how you might combine your super powers and perspectives with technology throughout 2019:
A video game inspired by your findings on declining bee population
A piece of artwork to illustrate how we might learn in the future
A website to share your thoughts on food security in your community
A website to share your favourite ways to stay active in the winter season
An interactive story on how we might reduce food waste
A website to share your fun invention idea!

This site offer a comprehensive coding platform has impressive resources for teachers. This learn-to-code program has the breadth and depth required to meet the needs of almost any teacher. The aim is to help teachers and families inspire the next generation of computer scientists.

Create emojis with code! In this activity, students remix a Processing sketch to build their very own interactive emoji artwork.

At this site coding is broken out into grade level activities. Lots of examples to explore.

Everything you need to participate in the Hour of Code in December can be found here!
