Overview
CodeCombat is a website that teaches the love of coding through playing video games. It goes without saying that this game-based approach is a fan favorite for young gamers.
CodeCombat takes visitors on a journey through dungeons, forests, and deserts while teaching coding languages like Python, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS. There are several options for scheduling, including self-paced options that can be completed as slowly or as fast as someone wants. More advanced students can even take part in the CodeCombat AI League.
As they progress through the game-based challenges, students build a foundation and improve other personal skills like deductive reasoning and problem-solving. If you’re a teacher, CodeCombat also offers resources for the classrooms and can help you teach computer science more efficiently.
You won’t find as many kid-friendly coding websites that are better than CodeCombat. They’re also currently working on another project featuring Roblox, but it’s not out yet. In the meantime, you can take a look at these Roblox classes.
