We built the blueprint to teach it.
Qubits is the evidence-based curriculum that makes world-class computer science instruction accessible—for every teacher and every student. Grounded in proven educational models and practical classroom application, we provide a clear, dependable path to CS literacy in K–12.
Students learn best by doing. We translate decades of educational psychology into practical classroom strategies, drawing from research-backed frameworks:
Project-based learning (PBL)
Every skill is immediately applied through authentic, real-world projects.
The 5E instructional model
Our lesson structure—Engage, Explore, Master, Reflect—adapts this inquiry-based STEM framework for computer science instruction.
Gradual release of responsibility (GRR)
"I do, we do, you do." We incrementally shift responsibility from teacher to student, building independence and confidence.
Use–Modify–Create (UMC)
Students start by using working code, then modifying it, and finally creating something original. This lowers cognitive load while supporting creative expression.
Universal design for learning (UDL)
Multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression ensure every student can meaningfully access the content.
Every Qubits lesson follows a consistent four-phase structure that helps students focus on learning and gives new CS teachers a clear instructional map.
Engage
Anchor learning in the real world. Activates prior knowledge and sparks curiosity
Explore
Learn by doing. Students experiment with code using the UMC model
Master
Unlock competency through challenge. Students apply skills to projects and build confidence
Reflect
Build metacognition and ownership. Students evaluate their understanding and growth
Research-backed learning routines that mirror real-world computing strengthen collaboration and normalize mistakes as part of learning:
Pair Programming
Code reviews
Debugging journals
Qubits turns complex pedagogy into practical, repeatable lessons—so any educator can confidently deliver computer science instruction. Whether you're teaching programming fundamentals, digital citizenship, or AI concepts, Qubits gives you the structure, strategies, and support to make it work.
