About codeSpark Academy
The Parents Choice Award-winning codeSpark Academy, which has a presence in more than 1/3 of US school districts, teaches the ABCs of coding through a combo of structured challenges and open-ended play. The app is ideal for at-home learning as its self-directed, project-based model allows kids to learn a complex subject like coding at their own pace. Kids can even learn virtually from their classmates and friends through multi-player modes and sharing completed games and stories on the platform. codeSpark Academy’s gender-neutral characters and easy to use “no words” interface is perfect for kids in 170 countries just starting to master the basics of technology.
