Looking through CODE.org, I found a few activities that line up well with the skills we push in Earth Science. Especially modeling, problem-solving, and understanding systems. Some of the shorter coding tasks could work as extensions when we cover things like climate models, feedback loops, or even basic data analysis. It’s a solid supplement when I want students thinking more logically about how Earth systems interact.
The experience also pushed me a bit on the AI side. I still prefer sticking more traditional approaches in my class, but I can see the value in using AI tools for simulations or quick demonstrations I’d still like to learn more about setting boundaries so AI supports inquiry.
