Piper Unit Plan Introducing the Piper Unit Plan At Piper, our educational goal is to amplify kids creative confidence around computers and electronics. The personal computer, the most powerful invention of the 20th century, is yet to be fully implemented in the 21st century curriculum. And with the addition of Minecraft, the engagement level of students to learn engineering theory increased. With Piper, teachers and students collaborate to learn basic engineering skills and build computers and electronics at a historically low cost. Introduced from a young age, this kind of experience can fundamentally shape a childs relationship with the computer and break down the barriers and gates that keep young people (especially women and underrepresented minorities) from passionately pursuing computer science later in life. Piper users will see themselves as more than passive consumers of technology. The curriculum presented here is designed to be a flexible tool for teachers to make Piper teachable to any age group. Teachers will be able to teach Piper starting as early as 2nd or 3rd grade (ages 7-8) all the way up to high schoolers with little prior hardware experience. For the public education system, we facilitate many options of standards to pick from to meet your specific needs. Thank you for choosing Piper The Piper team Piper Unit Plan 2
