coding courses make for a great district-wide computer science curriculum
Prepares students for the future:
As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, coding skills will become increasingly important for future generations. A district-wide computer science curriculum such as CodeMonkey can help ensure that students are prepared for the technological challenges and opportunities of the future.
Fosters problem-solving skills:
Through coding, students learn to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts, and develop logical and analytical thinking skills.
Encourages creativity:
Coding also encourages students to be creative and think outside the box as they come up with solutions to problems.
Provides practical, job-ready skills:
With the increasing demand for tech-related jobs, coding courses can help prepare students for careers in fields such as software development, data analysis, and web development.
Encourages diversity in tech:
By making coding accessible to all students, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic background, coding courses can help address the underrepresentation of certain groups in the tech industry.
Promotes digital literacy:
Coding courses can help students develop essential skills needed to navigate and utilize technology in an increasingly digital world.
Develops collaboration skills:
Coding often involves working in teams or pairs, which helps students develop communication and collaboration skills.
Aligns with current trends and initiatives:
The emphasis on computer science education has been growing in recent years, with many schools and districts implementing coding courses as part of their curriculum. This aligns with initiatives such as the Hour of Code and the Computer Science for All initiative.
No coding experience is required for schools and district Teachers
CodeMonkey is designed as a platform with fully-guided lesson plans, making it accessible to instructors in schools and districts, regardless of their prior coding experience.

Monitor & assess students progress
Save time and effort for schools and districts with our Teacher Dashboard, which allows you to easily monitor the progress of students. Through the dashboard, you can track how far your students have advanced in the courses and evaluate their performance. This makes it easier to identify specific topics where students may be struggling and address them accordingly. Our automatic grading system also saves valuable time when assessing students.
Text-based coding in the classroom
In today’s technology-driven world, software usage is ubiquitous, and text-based coding is a fundamental skill for students in schools and districts. Teaching children how to code not only equips them with problem-solving skills in the Computer Science realm but also nurtures creativity, logic, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities that can be applied in both their personal and professional lives, now and in the future. Text-based coding is the preferred language used in 99% of all software products today, making it a valuable skill for students in schools and districts to develop.
FAQ

The Admin and classroom dashboards provide a comprehensive overview of your account for each school or district.
The programming language used in CodeMonkey is called CoffeeScript. It’s a language that compiles to JavaScript, and similarly to JavaScript it is used in the industry primarily for web applications. We chose this language for a few reasons, but mainly because of its friendly syntax, which resembles the way we write in English, compared to other programming languages.
