...In a word: students like the Blackbird platform. I've taught coding with other popular resources, but Blackbird is more pedagogically effective...
Hybrid & distance learning ready
Blackbird is browser-based so students can use it with any computer, at school or at home.
Teachers get a full learning management system (LMS)
Monitor progress, review code, manage classes, and more — all through our easy-to-use platform.
Students can learn at their own pace and collaborate with peers
Learn better with supportive lessons, open-ended guided projects, and a self-led code workshop.
