Does anyone know what will be new in CS Discoveries 26-27? I am hoping for a Python unit or lessons and some extended and updated lessons in Unit 7.

@apatel ,

Many things are being revised and updated for next year. The new curriculum is usually released over the summer so it can be presented at summer professional development. You can already see some new announcements if you go to your dashboard (like the new Web Lab and Sketch Lab in AI Foundations).

Since you mentioned Python, did you know there is Python curriculum in AI Foundations? Didn’t know if you were aware of this resource:)

Many new things are coming - should be soon. I keep an eye on my email or attend summer professional development for a better overview.

Thanks for the pointer to the Python module in the AIF. Will check that out more carefully when I get a chance. Is that the only place Python is addressed in the Code.org curriculum?

Yes - I believe so. Python is only in the AI Foundations course.

Will there be an update to how much information the AI tutor gives to students in Discoveries? I have tested it out and it seems to have no problem doing the work for the students… which isn’t really a tutor but a cheat. Giving a hint is one thing… actually DOING all the work if asked is not good and will make students not see a point in learning to code. It is seriously making me rethink using Code.org next year
