Awesome! Thank you for those links!
Thank you so much for the links…my son is going to love this!
Yes, thank you!
If you finish code.org, I would also recommend code avengers (https://www.codeavengers.com/). It keeps the “fun” style of programming used in code.org by teaching code that result in games they have made, instead of taking them through assignments.
I work with middle schoolers and they hate the assignment-style program you learn in a class, but love code.org and codeavengers.com because they make it fun.
Thanks for the link and helpful info.
Thanks for all of the links! I was all about this program until I saw the price tag. Ouch!
