What is CodeSpark Academy?
codeSpark Academy is an award-winning game-based learning platform designed to teach children ages 5-9 coding concepts and computational thinking skills. Through fun, interactive puzzles and adventures, kids learn the foundations of computer science such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, events, functions, and algorithms.
The platform features two modes - The Foos, a coding adventure game with lovable characters, and the Puzzle Editor, where kids can build their own games and puzzles. With visual block coding, no reading is required so kids can start coding immediately.
codeSpark Academy aligns with computer science standards and 21st century skills. It teaches kids critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. Research by SRI International shows it boosts problem-solving skills and creative computing abilities.
codeSpark Academy is used by over 30 million kids worldwide in classrooms, coding camps, homes, and community centers. It's available on the web, iOS, Android, Kindle, and works great on computers, laptops, and tablets. A teacher dashboard provides guidance, tracking student progress, and assessing mastery of concepts.
