Hawaii

At Rex, we have matched Hawaii’s vision with our own.

At Rex Academy, we are dedicated to building quality computer science education for all ages. Our core belief is that computer science should be available to all learners as it is a gateway to many opportunities.

Learning to code is comparable to learning reading, writing, and math for this generation. Rex makes this process easy and enjoyable for all!

Alabama is a STEM rich state.

In 2018, Hawaii adopted the CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards withing each grade band with the goal of increasing equity and diversity in computer science.

“With rapid technological changes in CS, the HIDOE recognizes the urgency for a statewide Computer Science education program and envisions all students having the opportunity to graduate with foundational CS knowledge and skills to thrive in our increasingly digital world.”

State Of Hawaii Requirements

Hawaii requires all high schools to offer at least one computer science course beginning in the 2021 school year. At the start of the 2022 school year, every elementary and middle school must also offer computer science content.

In high school the AP CS courses may count as a math credit towards graduation.

Did you know?

A teacher with existing licensure in Hawaii may obtain the computer science endorsement by passing the Praxis CS exam.

Hawaii aligns quite well to CSTA and ISTE standards and therefore has five core computer science concepts and 7 core practices:

5 Core Concepts:

Computing Systems
Networks and the Internet
Data Analysis
Algorithms and Programming
Impacts of Computing

7 Core Practices:

1. Fostering an Inclusive Computing Culture
2. Collaborating Around Computing
3. Recognizing and Defining Computational Problems
4. Developing and Using Abstractions
5. Creating Computational Artifacts
6. Testing and Refining Computational Artifacts
7. Communicating About Computing
