Learning to code can be intimidating. We’re here to make it easier.

What we’ve heard from students and educators… • “I only want to install one tool and just have it work for everything” • “I want to get started coding quickly, not have a bunch of things to set up” • “I want to code in something modern and fast, with dark mode and other personalization” • “I want to use real-world tools for my courses, but those tools are too intimidating” • “I want a free tool with easy installation and set-up process, so students can use it at home too. ” • “A tool that can make collaboration between students easy, for when they work on group projects”
