Where Creativity Meets Rigor

Make coding fun and teach real-world skills

Students type real Python and JavaScript while playing games that encourage trial-and-error, critical thinking, and creativity. Students then apply the coding skills they’ve learned by developing their own games and websites in project-based courses.

Reach students at their level

Every CodeCombat level is scaffolded based on millions of data points and optimized to adapt to each learner. Practice levels and hints help students when they get stuck, and challenge levels assess students' learning throughout the game.

Built for all teachers, regardless of experience

CodeCombat’s self-paced, standards-aligned curriculum makes teaching computer science possible for everyone. CodeCombat equips teachers with the training, instructional resources, and dedicated support to feel confident and successful in the classroom.

A Coding Game Built with Teachers in Mind

Teaching kids to code can often feel overwhelming. CodeCombat helps all educators teach students how to code in either JavaScript or Python, two of the most popular programming languages. With a comprehensive curriculum that includes six computer science units and reinforces learning through project-based game development and web development units, kids will progress on a journey from basic syntax to recursion!

Bobby Duke Middle School, California

I was surprised about how easy and intuitive CodeCombat makes learning computer science. The scores on the AP exam were much higher than I expected and I believe CodeCombat is the reason why this was the case.

Andrew Forseman

River Ridge High School, Florida

CodeCombat has been the most beneficial for teaching my students real-life coding capabilities. My husband is a software engineer and he has tested out all of my programs. He put this as his top choice.

Holly Ades

Riverdale High School, Florida

The feedback … has been so positive that we are structuring a computer science class around CodeCombat. The program really engages the students with a gaming style platform that is entertaining and instructional at the same time. Keep up the good work, CodeCombat!

Students Don't Just Level Up Their Hero, They Level Up Themselves

You mess up…so then you think about all of the possible ways to fix it, and then try again. I wouldn't be able to get here without trying hard.

Isaiah, 7th Grade

Critical Thinking

With coding puzzles that are naturally scaffolded into increasingly challenging levels, CodeCombat's programming game ensures kids are always practicing critical thinking.

Everyone else was making mazes, so I thought, ‘capture the flag’ and that’s what I did.

Sam, 4th Grade

Creativity

CodeCombat encourages students to showcase their creativity by building and sharing their own games and webpages.

If I got stuck on a level. I would work with people around me until we were all able to figure it out.

Jake, 10th Grade

Collaboration

Throughout the game, there are opportunities for students to collaborate when they get stuck and to work together using our pair programming guide.

I’ve always had aspirations of designing video games and learning how to code ... this is giving me a great starting point.

Joey, 10th Grade

Communication

Coding requires kids to practice new forms of communication, including communicating with the computer itself and conveying their ideas using the most efficient code.
