CodeCombat offers a unique multiplayer programming game designed to introduce computer science to middle and high school students. Serving thousands of schools and impacting millions of students, CodeCombat strives to democratize K12 computer science education, ensuring accessibility regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic background. The core mission is to provide equal learning opportunities for all.
CodeCombat aims to broaden participation in computer programming by making its underlying logic and syntax more approachable and engaging. By gamifying the learning process, students embark on their coding journey by completing quests, such as battling ogres and defending castles. This innovative approach seeks to cultivate a new generation of computer programmers.
The platform supports learning Python, JavaScript, and other languages directly within a web browser. Teachers, even those without prior computer science experience, can quickly implement CodeCombat in their classrooms. In a world where programming proficiency has often been acquired as a second language, CodeCombat empowers students to become fluent, native speakers of code. Consider integrating CodeCombat into your school's curriculum to provide students with a foundational understanding of computer science.
