CodeCombat
Game that teaches computer science to middle and high school kids.
What they do
K-12 students and schools lack accessible, engaging ways to learn foundational computer science and programming skills.
CodeCombat provides a browser-based multiplayer game that teaches programming (e.g., Python and JavaScript) through interactive gameplay and teacher-friendly classroom tools.
Middle and high school students and their teachers/schools use it for computer science instruction.
