Here at Cape Elizabeth Middle School we have coding classes as part of our Computer (Allied Arts) curriculum for 5-8, as well as a before and after school program. The computer teacher uses Scratch for creating games.

You can contact me off-list for more info, or for our Computer teacher's contact information.

We have the resources. And our computer tech elementary teacher went to Vegas and is offering workshops for Code.org. That is not the issue.

I am just wondering how many schools have coding or programming classes at the middle school level. It looks like Saco has some. 

We are thinking of starting a program.

Do you have like classes or a special program of some sort? We don't want just an after school thing. It is a big push at the district level.

Yes, we use that at the elementary school and we used it last year at MS just during week of code. Admin is evaluating if we should have a programming curriculum  k-12. We don't have much at the HS, just one class at the moment.

We are looking at having coding classes at the MS and I was wondering if anyone else is doing something like that.
