Why CodeMonkey?

While Scratch is a great first step into block-based logic, CodeMonkey is built for real progression, classroom impact, and measurable learning. CodeMonkey turns curiosity into coding mastery — guiding students from simple puzzles to real text-based programming like CoffeeScript and Python.
CodeMonkey is a web-based learning platform that offers a variety of computer programming courses and tools that bridge the gap between wanting to code and becoming an expert in the field. The uniqueness of CodeMonkey stems from the fact that the platform teaches children real text-based programming from day one in an easy and game-like manner. The courses are user-friendly and intuitive so children can jump right into them without needing an introductory course or previous coding background.

python

Python is a widely used programming language in the real world. A few of CodeMonkey’s courses teach it, specifically Banana Tales. Find out why it is an industry favorite below:

  • Allows developers to write fewer lines of code for tasks so it takes less time to build a program
  • Simple programming syntax with English-like commands
  • Functional - Can be used to create a wide-range of programs
  • Libraries of ready-made code available

coffeescript

CoffeeScript, a useful coding language, is taught in Coding Adventure. Here’s are some reasons why:

  • Easy syntax - similar to JavaScript but the code is cleaner and more concise
  • Easy to read and learn compared to other languages
  • Small, clear language with lots of code examples
