A Real-World Coding Platform

•  Easy-to-use Browser-Based Software
•  Physical Computing based - CodeX and CodeBot
•  Step-by-step Interactive Curriculum Modules
•  Project-driven, Hands-on Learning
• Aligned to Standards and Certification 

Python, a real-world programming language

Python is industry-proven which makes it a perfect language to learn. It has been instrumental in developing software for Google, YouTube, Spotify, and countless other applications that are highly relevant to students' lives. Our exclusive use of text-based code, rather than drag-and-drop blocks, appeals to students seeking relevance, meaning, and real-world value from instruction. 

Intuitive, step-by-step curriculum

Our Python-based curriculum modules lead students (and teachers!) step by step from basic coding concepts to deep and complex projects. Instructional content is integrated with development tools so students can practice the mechanics of programming and build a solid foundation of computer science principles.

Open-ended software environment

In our web-based Python editor, programmers are not limited by the scope of their imagination. They are encouraged to apply the concepts they learn in each lesson to develop their own unique ideas. Legible error messages and a professional Python debugger help students learn through the natural process of making mistakes and iteratively fixing them. This scaffolding empowers students to think critically and confidently about a problem before raising their hands.

Engaging in physical computing projects

Hardware brings code to life! Our versatile hardware products not only teach code but also get students excited about it. They introduce students to the fascinating world of electronics and the code that animates and connects the gadgets in the ever-expanding Internet of Things. Through CodeSpace, students will learn in a way that is engaging and sparks their curiosity.

Introduce your Students to Python 

The perfect introduction to Python, starting with the basic concepts as you bring CodeX to life one line of code at a time.

“Python with CodeX” Curriculum Module

Just a few of the included projects:

1. Welcome to CodeX - a tour of the many features of your CodeX. You'll learn about sensors, display, LEDs, and more! Then you'll connect to your computer (Chromebook/Windows/Mac) and write your first few lines of Python code to bring CodeX to life!

2. Light Show - start with the beautiful LED-backlit display, and move on to controlling the 6 indicator LEDs and the 4 neopixels onboard your CodeX. Put your new coding skill to use to make a warning sign that flashes continuously. Then let your creativity soar as you craft an animated art exhibit, powered by Python!

3. Button Up - learn the basics of reading from input devices by exploring CodeX buttons. With a little more Python knowledge you can now control those flashy outputs based on button presses. Hey, you're rocking some I/O! 

4. Harmonize - there's an symphony waiting inside your CodeX! With a little Python code, you'll become the maestro of electronic music.

5. Voice Box - continue your audio exploration as you use Python code to record your voice with CodeX's microphone. Learn how to play-back audio samples, and use button-press inputs to create an audio user-interface.

6. Spirit Level - get to know one of the advanced sensors on CodeX, the accelerometer. Your code can use this sensor to precisely read the orientation, and you'll use that knowledge to craft a useful tool. You'll use a little math to convert the accelerometer reading to degrees, and show the angle on your CodeX display.

7. Night Light - another useful peripheral is the onboard ambient light sensor. Can you use it to make a nightlight? With a little Python code, yes you can! What else can you sense? Experiment with detecting the presence of nearby objects, and use the light sensor as another user-interface device.
