Choose a platform!

Think about your kids and what level of programming that they know. You don't have to use a computer at all. There are plenty of activities to do unplugged. Just DO something!

Code.org Tutorials

Code Minecraft. Make R2D2 travel between galaxies or ice skate with Elsa! You can do this without creating an account but it won't save your student's progress!

Whole Class Coding

Engage your whole class using your SMARTboard or Mimio. Kodable is one that is even great for pre-k kids! You will need to create an account first but it's pretty simple! If you are planning to code as a whole class, just place one sample student in the class and you're good to go! We can even download this one and push it out for you!
