Learn (and teach) coding with an educational version of JavaScript
Most coding education systems still use engineering versions of their programming languages. We say: Let's make coding more friendly!
Engineering systems are inappropriate for students.
We use educational systems for teaching.
Teachers don't need coding experience! Integrated curricula use coding to demonstrate core concepts in science and math.
Unlimited support included.

...In a word: students like the Blackbird platform. I've taught coding with other popular resources, but Blackbird Code is more pedagogically effective.
