FOR TEACHERS

North Star Academy Charter School in Newark, NJ

"Five years ago my director of operations volunteered me for CodeHS knowing me well enough that I wouldn’t say no. I was immediately addicted and couldn’t wait for school to start to get my 8th graders addicted too.”

FOR SCHOOLS

Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, MA

“Any time we can use coding for social good to problem solve, students really latch on to that idea and will spend more time and effort trying something new and challenging. If they don’t have a personal connection to it, they won’t want to take on the cognitive load and persevere.”

Andrea Carnes

STEAM Coordinator and Math/Science Teacher at Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, MA

FOR DISTRICTS
