Mission: Code


Mission: Code is a unique after school experience that allows kids to learn essential coding skills while also engaging in active games and hands-on learning. Kids will develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills in an online game environment where you give a robot a set of instructions to follow in order to solve each level. Every coding session provides kids with a fundamental skill set including algorithms, functions, relative directions and sequences. 

The combination of online activities paired with engaging offline activities like scavenger hunts, code-cracking mysteries and team robotics challenges that keep kids active and reinforce coding skills is a winning formula for fun! 

Note: Children will need to bring a laptop or tablet with access to Google Chrome to each session. Each student has at-home access to the class content and game for 1 year so that they can continue to play and practice the coding skills they have learned.
