Lifepack Guides

Lessons plans include both unplugged (tech-free) and lessons that use the technology found in classrooms.

Our lesson plans do not teach programming languages; instead, they teach students to think like a programmer.

Each lesson includes cross-curricular connections and an assessment checklist.

Created by a Teacher and Coder

Together, Ace and Emily teamed up to make a practical guide for Ontario teachers to deliver quality coding lessons to students.

Hi, I'm Ace!

I am a UofT Computer Science graduate and have over 10 years of professional programming experience at IBM, TD Bank and Loyalty One. I will teach you coding concepts from the new Ontario curriculum using simple, real life examples.

Hi, I'm Emily!

I'm an Ontario primary teacher with over 8 years of teaching experience and a Masters of Education. I was lost with the new coding curriculum, then Ace taught me the concepts and we teamed up to create a practical guide.

What Our Teachers Have to Say

"I absolutely love the fact that there are both unplugged and computer versions of lessons that can be used! Each lesson can be stand alone or used as a series, which makes it perfect for those that are comfortable with coding already and those that are beginning to teach it! My most favourite part though is that you have demonstrated ways in which coding can be used across the curriculum!"
Jennifer Anne TDSB
"Lifepack Coding has been perfect for my learning style. I had no prior knowledge on coding. The real life connections made, really help me understand the terminology. This has been a life saver for me. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into making this program."
