According to Code.org:
"Now even the youngest students can explore the limitless world of computing. Code.org’s K-5 courses blend online, self-guided, and self-paced tutorials
with “unplugged” activities that require no computer at all!
Even kindergarten-aged pre-readers can participate.
High quality workshops for teachers, at no cost (US only).
Our curriculum is completely free for anyone, anywhere to teach.
To help teachers implement our courses for grades K-5,
Code.org offers high-quality, 1-day workshops
for educators and content-area teachers (librarians, tech-ed specialists, etc.).
These workshops are led by experienced Code.org facilitators."
