This lesson promotes global awareness, coding, and digital citizenship.
Grades 7–10Intergenerational Climate Conversations 👥
Foster meaningful intergenerational dialogue about climate change through interviews with older generations. Students will gather insights on how climate change has impacted different generations and create an interactive story using Elementari. This digital project will blend personal stories with coding elements, encouraging students to explore climate justice through the lens of older generations while building coding and storytelling skills.
Grades 9–10Climate Justice & Activism APP 📢
Dive into the world of climate justice and discover the impactful work of activists! Start by researching a climate justice issue that matters to you and learn about key activists. Then, design and code an app on Elementari to share what you've learned. Your app will showcase the issue, explain its causes and impacts, and highlight the work of climate heroes.
Grades 3–4Tree Life Cycle Animated Story 🍃
Engage students in the life cycle of a tree through research and storytelling. In this lesson, students will research a specific tree species and create an interactive story using Elementari.

Scaffolded sentence starters and fill-in-the-blanks will guide students through the writing process.
Grades 3–8Shark Lady Explorer Game 🦈
Create an interactive game inspired by "Shark Lady." Students will design a marine environment game where a character moves using buttons, and sharks move randomly across the screen. They will code animations, use number variables for random positions, and implement collision detection for a game-over condition.
Grades K–4Growing Tree: Code Speech 🌱
Code an interactive story where a magical tree grows when specific words are spoken. Students will design their story with images and backgrounds, write a "Tree Keeper Promise" to care for trees, and code speech recognition to make their tree respond to their voice. This lesson combines coding with creative storytelling, making it ideal for an Earth Day and Arbor Day activity.
Grades K–4Letter Matching Game 📚
Code an exciting game where players drag lowercase letters to match their uppercase counterparts. Students will design their game, record their voices, add sound effects and background music, and learn to integrate these elements with code. Encourage students to share their creations with peers and younger friends, fostering a collaborative and interactive learning environment.
Grades 3–4Fairytale Remix: Code 🏰
Students will remix classic fairy tales into original narratives by reconfiguring story elements and characters. They will structure their stories and enhance them with digital skills, coding background music and voiceovers on Elementari.
