Getting startet with codeSpark Academy

With codeSpark Academy we’re learning key computer science concepts that are the foundation to any programming language. With its word-free approach, colorful characters called Foos, and creative coding space, our class is having a blast solving coding puzzles and creating games. I believe that adding codeSpark Academy to my curriculum has helped improve my students’ problem solving and creative abilities.
