Zulama was designed and written by faculty from world-renowned game design and computer science departments at MIT and Carnegie Mellon University.
Students work at their own pace through guided experiences thanks to Zulama’s blended learning approach. Teachers of any subject can facilitate learning using Zulama’s built-in video tutorials, examples, and step-by-step instructions.
Students tackle real-world problems with Zulama's project-based learning approach. They work on their own, in pairs, and in small groups to build computer science skills as well as collaboration and communication skills that are vital to their success.
Enhance traditional core courses, like History, Science, Math, and ELA. Zulama offers both stand-alone Computer Science courses and projects designed to connect learning to other subjects.
Students build programming skills to create polished, portfolio-worthy projects. From Scratch to Unity, JavaScript to C#, they ideate, plan, research, design, prototype, and program their own computational apps, games, and simulations with a diverse suite of digital tools and programming languages that are appropriate across grade levels.
Prep your students for a career after they leave the classroom. Our upper level courses are based on industry-standard tools and coding languages, allowing students to learn using professional software engineering practices such as pair programming. Students prepare for certifications, such as the Unity Certified Associate Exam and the Autodesk 3ds Max Certified User Exam, while our Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles course can also help them earn college credit while still in high school.
Students develop critical skills to navigate our rapidly changing technological landscape including determining the reliability and credibility of information found online, managing their own online etiquette, and weighing the benefits and risks of online environments. Students gain an understanding of the implications of technology on the world around them to become better digital citizens.
Students work in design teams to learn highly-valued “soft skills” as they move a pair programming project from idea to completion. They take on different roles as they problem solve and think critically as they build on their talents.
