Our verdict on Project GUTS

Project GUTS (Growing Up Thinking Scientifically) is an integrated science and computer science program for middle-school students. Schools and districts use its computer models and simulations to support scientific inquiry, with an online visual block-based programming environment at the center. Curriculum options include week-long classroom modules and afterschool club units, alongside teacher lesson plans, videos and extension resources. The lessons align with Next Generation Science Standards and Computer Science Teachers Association standards, making the program a fit for educators connecting those subjects through modeling rather than through virtual lab activities.

The curriculum extends beyond ready-made lessons: teachers can use, modify and create model-based learning progressions. Project GUTS also offers professional development through workshops and online courses, plus a teacher online network for questions, code help and resources. Code.org is the listed integration. These elements suit schools looking to build computational modeling into instruction and support teachers as they adapt activities. The scope is more focused than a broad virtual-labs platform, so buyers seeking virtual lab experiences should look elsewhere.

Project GUTS is offered on the web and deployed in the cloud. Pricing follows a contact-sales model; the vendor describes curriculum, printed materials and professional-development offerings, so schools should discuss the specific package they need directly. The program may fit small, mid-market and enterprise organizations. Choose it when classroom modeling, coding and teacher development are priorities; consider another platform if virtual labs are central to the intended learning experience.
