Learning to code should be fun, and teaching it - should be easy. CodeCombat was built to serve this mission. Traditional platforms are either too simple or way too challenging. Many drag and drop programs don’t allow for syntax errors and without mistakes students are unable to learn very deeply. And many of the text-based coding engines were intended for professionals to use. Error messages that read “syntax error, unexpected token” can be difficult to comprehend. That’s why we built a custom interpreter and code engine that is designed for beginners. It understands the mistakes beginners make and speaks to them in human beginner-friendly terms. With our unique approach, students embrace learning as they play and write code from the very start of their adventure, promoting active learning and a growth mindset. CodeCombat has helped over 20 million students enjoy learning Computer Science, teaching them to be critical, confident, and creative learners. We engage all students, regardless of experience, helping them to realize a pathway to success in Computer Science. Teaching with CodeCombat is simple to implement and with the ample teacher resources provided, anyone can teach Computer Science. It all starts with the intuitive teacher dashboard. Here you will find a comprehensive Getting Started Guide. This detailed walkthrough outlines all the steps to get your class coding. The content is fully searchable so you can find exactly what you need. And the extensive FAQs will help to provide answers to most other outstanding questions. The lesson plans and student facing lesson slides take the guesswork out of teaching CS and provide the necessary concept overviews and assessments to ensure your students understand. Our Outcomes Report is linked directly from the teacher dashboard, providing an instant snapshot of your students’ progress. Paired with our competitive coding esports league, CodeCombat is the most engaging way to learn CS. See it for yourself free at CodeCombat.com.
