Zero Computer Science Training RequiredOur intuitive interface and step-by-step exercises allow teachers and students to learn computer science together. No CS experience needed!
How it Works
You choose the course for your students. Your students choose how they learn.
Students progress independently through self-directed coding courses in 3 easy steps:
Step 1: Watch
Learn to code from cinematic, animated, story-based video tutorials.
Step 2: Code
Write real code to interact with the story characters and solve problems.
Step 3: Get Feedback
Submit the code and get instant, personalized feedback.
Step 4: Repeat
Keep up the same pattern through each lesson.
You don’t need any training to plan, run or teach a coding class, club or program. Simply fire up EduCode™ and let your students dive in!
What Makes EduCode™ Academy Different?Blockly coding and text-based coding are the two most common methods used today. Most programs are restricted to either one of them. EduCode™ Academy blends the best of both worlds, without any of their limitations.

Text-based Coding
Learn to write real code
Not interactive or gamified
Answer flexibility
Can be overwhelming
Staff training needed
Self-directed Microlearning
EduCode™
Learn to write real code

MethodologyEduCode™’s unique curriculum combines three 21st century pedagogies at the forefront of education:
Instructions are the core building blocks in coding. This video explains how they work through a bite-sized lesson.
MicrolearningIndustry-standard coding languages concepts presented through bite-sized lessons, encouraging student progress with mini-successes throughout the learning process.
Variables can be abstract. This video introduces them by providing a context for their application.
Contextual learningAnimated videos introduce and contextualize concepts, allowing students to see how they work in real-life situations without getting out of the chair.
Testimonials from teachers who have seen EduCode™ in action with students
Deep learningFostering a learning partnership between instructors and students where both can learn coding together, demonstrating the value of life-long learning.1
EduCode™ was an amazing coding program that truly energized and excited my students. They were eager to share what they had learned and so appreciative of the opportunity to practice and learn java script in EduCode™ both at school and at home!Grade 5 teacher, Illinois
I had the opportunity to observe 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders using EduCode™. Wow! It was amazing. What I really like is that students are learning a real language. The students didn’t get stuck, the teacher didn’t need to be an expert, because the kids would help each other. The video-based lessons were so engaging that they wanted to continue beyond the alloted time. So yes, I do think EduCode™ is a game changer.Meg Ormiston, NOWClassrooms author, teacher, keynote speaker, among top 8 most influential EdTech Leaders of 2018
EduCode™ is the first tool that I have used in my classroom that helped students learn in an authentic way. Instead of relying on simple programming puzzles the entire time, EduCode™ starts students there to learn programming logic, and then quickly progresses into rigorous programming exercises designed to teach students how to really write programs. Other programming teaching tools I have seen fall into the trap of simply teaching the students how to use the tool itself by using a proprietary library. EduCode™ instead teaches how to program by sticking to the fundamentals to provide a language/library agnostic learning experience. The training videos are well scaffolded and easy to follow for any studentNick Gutierrez, Computer Science Teacher, Chicago Tech Academy
Our campus is 94% Title 1 and as such, the vast majority of my students were scared of coding. They weren’t sure what it was, but it sounded very difficult and out of their reach. EduCode™ made coding come alive. My students enjoyed their experience, found it fairly easy to navigate, and wanted more time to explore and “code.” I would highly recommend EduCode™ for students with no experience. The program makes all successful!Grade 7-8 teacher, Texas
EduCode™ is a student-friendly way to introduce Java Script coding. Students are able to work through modules and lessons and get excited about their mini-successes. The instruction and practice is an all-in-one experience, which makes it extremely engaging and motivating for students.Grade 3-5 teacher, Illinois
