Reducing Gaps, Raising Confidence

See how Canyons School District integrated computational thinking across 28 elementary schools using a screen-free, science-first approach with KaiBots.

Discover a real-world example of how to scale computational thinking across an entire district by connecting weekly STEM enrichment back to everyday classroom learning. The Canyons School District story provides practical insight into lowering the barrier to entry for educators, aligning coding with science standards, and fostering essential problem-solving habits for young learners.

Inside this Case Study:

The challenge of disconnected weekly enrichment classes and the strategy used to tie computational thinking directly back to core instruction.
How a "science-first" integration model gave teachers room to integrate coding while naturally reinforcing early math, ELA, and reasoning skills.
The four-step strategy for building teacher confidence at scale—even for those with no prior coding experience—including optional training, PLC-based coaching, oversized magnetic coding cards, and co-teaching.

"Out of all the classes I've observed, and what teachers tell me, it is complete engagement. I've never had any student sit and do nothing... KaiBots are bringing fun back to the classroom and letting kids explore while teachers take a step back."
