Mar Vista Elementary’s computer program helps students build essential digital skills through hands-on exploration in a safe, supportive, and creative environment. Every week, students attend technology classes in the dedicated Computer Lab, using the curriculum developed in partnership with PlanetBravo. The foundational program covers digital citizenship, keyboarding, word-processing, safe internet research and multimedia tools, while the advanced lab for grades 2-5 enables students to explore coding, robotics engineering, 3D modelling, animation, and web design. Through this rich curriculum, students learn to use technology thoughtfully, collaborate on digital projects, and embrace technology as a powerful tool for learning, communication, and innovation.
