At Rex, we have matched Alaska’s vision with our own.
Learning to code is comparable to learning reading, writing, and math for this generation. Rex makes this process easy and enjoyable for all!
“The Alaska Computer Science Standards are meant to establish a baseline literacy in computer science for all Alaskan students and provide guidance for designing curriculum, assessments, and teacher preparation programs. The standards represent a vision in which all students, from a young age, engage in the concepts and practices of computer science. From kindergarten through 12th grade, students will develop new approaches to problem solving that harness the power of computational thinking, while not only becoming users, but creators of computing technology.”

At Rex, we have matched Alaska’s vision with our own.
Alaska does not yet require secondary schools to offer computer science courses.
Some districts in Alaska does allow for computer science courses to count towards graduation requirements by allowing it to count as a math, science, or CTE/technology course but it does depend on the district.
Currently, there is not a clear path to get teachers certified in computer science education.
Alaska aligns quite well to CSTA and ISTE standards and therefore hasfive Core Computer Science Concepts:
Works at home, in class, and on Chromebooks.
Aligns with state and national education standards.
Built for schools. Private, simple, and secure.
No CS degree necessary. Optional teacher included.
Detailed reporting tools and auto-grading.
Real coding and real projects with realtime feedback.
Rex Academy courses are also aligned to the following standards
