Learn, Play & Engage

In an effort to bridge the technology gap between underserved and marginalized elementary and middle school youth and the general population, Osiris Organization has partnered with Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) to provide coding instruction through the Freedom School Express (FSX), Extended Day Learning (EDL) and Flipside afterschool programs.  The current school locations are Benjamin E. Mays, Capitol Hill Magnet, Hazel Park Preparatory Academy and Humboldt/OWL.

Intro To Coding 4 Kidz

Welcome to the exciting world of coding! 

Our coding program is designed to teach the basics of coding in a fun and interactive way. Students will learn how to create their own games, animations, and stories while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills.

Osiris Organization continues to expand our coding and computer science programming for elementary and middle school students in the Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) district during the 2024-2025 school year. Our program utilizes Tynker.com, a renowned coding platform designed specifically for young learners that utilize visual coding blocks that make coding easy and intuitive. Students drag and drop blocks to create code that makes characters move, jump, and even talk! Other onliine platforms are used to supplement the Tynker.com curriculum.  We integrate Quizizz.com, an interactive assessment tool that helps monitor and evaluate student progress in real-time, that allows us to immediately engage with student progress.

This initiative aims to provide underserved students with essential technology skills that will prepare them for future educational and career opportunities in STEM fields. They’ll learn about loops, conditionals, and variables without even realizing it.  We also provide text based coding instruction for the more advanced student.
